As the U.S. News Editor of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, I lead a team of talented, driven and inquisitive reporters who cover breaking news, features and analysis across the United States in the service of the global Jewish community, spanning the political and religious spectrum.

I came to 70 Faces Media after a 28-year career at Reuters where I worked as a reporter, news editor, copy editor and digital editor. For the last 10 years, I was editor-in-charge of Reuters.com, where I ran the curation of the site and app, directed news coverage and oversaw push-alert and liveblog strategy.

I was born in Philadelphia, grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and have lived in the Jersey suburbs of New York since Bill Clinton was president. I now live in Nutley, NJ, a humble suburb of Montclair. 

I’ve written two books. I play five instruments in four different bands. I’m a long-suffering Phillies fan.
