I am an award-winning investigative journalist and researcher with a dozen years experience covering a rich variety of subjects, including Corporate America, labor, the economy, Wall Street, politics, crime and culture.

     In October 2009, I was granted a fellowship by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at Syracuse University's Newhouse School. My investigative project involves examining the viability of shareholder lawsuits against company management given recent Supreme Court decisions.

     Since March 2000, I have been a full-time independent investigative journalist. Prior to that, I wrote for TheStreet.com, an Internet-based financial news magazine, and several Wall Street trade publications. My work also has been published in the Village Voice, Salon.com, Dollars & Sense, TomPaine.com, The Nation, Business Week, the New York Post, the New York Observer, and foreign editions of Newsweek. I was awarded the Malcolm Law Award for Investigative Reporting from the Associated Press for my work at The Daily Herald (Columbia, Tenn.)

     I have done extensive research for Corporate Campaign, Inc., an activist consulting firm, and completed fact-checking a book, Bull: A History of the Boom, 1982-1999 by Maggie Mahar (Harper Business, 2003.)

     In 2000, I received a Masters degree in Journalism from Columbia University. I earned two bachelor degrees, in English and Mass Communications, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1990.
