I am the managing editor for RetailWire, a lively online discussion forum exploring key dynamics and emerging innovations driving the retailing industry. My reporting career has largely covered retail, starting off as beat reporter for Women’s Wear Daily. My work has also appeared in Footwear News, Sporting Goods Business, Crain’s NY, The New York Post, Ad-Fax, Apparel Magazine, and Ale Street News. I graduated from Rutgers University and live in New York City with a wife Rhonda of nine years and a spoiled dog, Trixie.
