I’ve worked for daily newspapers in Alabama, New Mexico and Maine. I also worked as a national reporter and editor for three years in Cambodia from 1997-2000, at a nonprofit newspaper aimed at strengthening the free press and helping train Cambodian journalists. I believe in holding companies and governments accountable, while also striving to be an accurate, fair and balanced journalist. I’m also interested in reporting about cutting-edge technologies and the entrepreneurs behind the ideas. Started at the Rocky Mountain News: November 2000
