About Me

Wasn't entirely intentional, but before returning to New York last year, I spent the previous seven in Asia, living and working throughout the continent and the Middle East as a staff writer and correspondent for Time and then later freelancing for National Geographic, National Geographic Adventure, New York, Slate, and Conde Nast Traveler, among others. I think I had a good view--closer than might have been wise at some points--at the post 9-11 world and the impact of globalization, terror, war, and the foreign policies of various nations. Hindsight shows that much of the script for the last decade was written in places that got little notice. Likewise, there are things happening in other places now that may well influence what happens in the future. Those places, for the most part, will be the subject of Brush Fires. Thanks for tuning in.
