About

I am the online editor for local news at Newsday, charged with delivering hyperlocal news and information to Long Islanders.

Multimedia and mobile journalism are key methods in our efforts. Have smart phone, will travel.

I got here with experience that spans the print, TV and online worlds.

Before Newsday, where I started in 2010, I was executive producer of News 12 Interactive, running the Web and interactive TV operations of the seven News 12 cable stations. I was previously editor of Long Island Business News and an Internet reporter for Marketwatch.com. I was also a community news and business reporter.

I’m an active member of the Society of Professional Journalists, currently serving as an SPJ Eastern Chapter Doctor.

Earlier this year, I co-chaired the SPJ Region 1 Spring Conference, which brought together journalists from across the Northeast. Make sure to check out the student-led coverage of the event.

I served for 13 years on the Press Club of Long Island board, leading the club as its president from 2002-2005.

From 2004-2006, I was SPJ Region 1 Director, winning Regional Director of the Year in 2006.

I’m currently on the board of the Martin Buskin Committee for Campus Journalism at Stony Brook, and I’m a member of the Energeia Partnership, a regional stewardship group.

I’m also a big lover of history, genealogy and my grandparents’ old recipes.

Soon, I hope to complete a book about my grandfather’s life in Italy during World War II.
