Born to bike, forced to work in media. This is my burden.

I am a writer and editor with bylines in publications including GQ, New York Magazine, Wirecutter and The Ringer. Until recently, I served as the Gear and Gadgets Editor for Off Duty, the weekend lifestyle insert of The Wall Street Journal. My coverage area was a mile wide, including the flip phone renaissance, high-design gardening tools, spearfishing equipment, and over-designed multitools. I also wrote about my journey to become a biker, trying to wear a smartwatch without looking like a dweeb, and whether the chore coat is dead.

I plan to spend the next few months continuing to report on issues that interest me, including men’s fashion, endurance sports, the role of tech in our daily lives, urban infrastructure, and public art. And I just launched Leg Day, a newsletter about pursuing joy as a New York City cyclist.
