I am an American based in Bonn, Germany. I am only willing to work remotely at the moment due to the pandemic. I have worked as a Bundesliga commentator, photographer and writer in some capacity since 2013. My work has been featured primarily on the Bundesliga Fanatic and Deutsche Welle, Germany's international public broadcaster. I also covered US sports, primarily around the Washington, DC area, for local outlets. I have also worked as a travel writer, primarily in Japan and Europe for Deutsche Welle. I hope to expand my traveling horizons after the pandemic. As you can imagine, much of my reporting happened with Deutsche Welle. I have also covered nerdy stories, world politics and offbeat news.

My 2017 Chernobyl trip made me think about the ethics of sharing our "dark tourism" pictures online, especially if we put ourselves in the frame. This came about after the Instagram hype following the "Chernobyl" miniseries.
