FitzHerald-Tribune
I work as the communications manager at Columbia Journalism Review. Previously, I spent time as news editor and arts editor at C-VILLE Weekly. My reporting has been cited by multiple news sources including The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and highlighted by the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.
My writing has appeared in publications including The Free Lance-Star, PopMatters.com and the Pensacola Independent News. The FitzHerald-Tribune is a select collection of my published work, along with other odds and ends.

“…As Lavine moves closer to 1993—further from Nevermind, closer to In Utero—he grows more concerned with constructing stories around his shoots. Pearl Jam appears before a distorted woods scene, Eddie Vedder’s mouth taped shut; Royal Trux gets the jailbreak spotlight treatment and throws a smug, sexual insolence towards the lens. Lavine offers Soundgarden in 1989 and again in 1990. In the former, Chris Cornell is off-kilter, too young—his eyes are as fearless as his chest is hairless. In the latter, he puts a revolver in his mouth while guitarist Kim Thayil goes wide-eyed. Don’t dare him, his expression reads. Grunge is dangerous, after all.
No, not dangerous. A challenge, sure—but more an inward push than outward, more an effort to see something that no one has seen than a fight to sell something no one has sold…”
