I’m a U.S. journalist in East Asia. As a writer, editor and researcher, I cover business, law, travel and environmental matters. Click the categories or tags in the left column to read extracts from some of my published articles. Most of these were written on a freelance basis.

As a nitpicky editor, I do everything from proofreading to very heavy rewriting. I can update your website or guidebook, or wrestle your annual report, thesis or policy study into comprehensible English. I have edited many hundreds of academic papers by life scientists, social scientists and historians. You can be assured of error-free, first-rate, First World copy. I started out as a news copy editor, so I long ago committed the Associated Press Stylebook to memory. I now work more often with Chicago and APA styles.

I’ve held staff jobs as a reporter, copy editor or editor in Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Washington, D.C. And I have a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

Cambodia, China, Dominican Republic, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan (most recently), Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam … I’ve traveled in many countries, but I know Thailand and its neighbors best of all. I have read a great deal about the history of Asia and wish more editors were interested in travel articles with genuine history.
