Excited to share my new story in @connecticutmag: I went to Danbury to capture the spirit of the local pro hockey culture that was made famous by Netflix. connecticutmag.com/issues/fe…

I worked in the magazine industry for a long time, and my mind is still messed up from it. Among other things, I’m panicking about September when it’s only April 17th.

Heroic pizza man Louie Suljovic is like a character out of Death Wish. I was at the pizzeria on Saturday to interview him about the knife-wielding man he stopped from causing havoc in his shop. A couple hours after our interview, Louie got into action again stopping a hit-and-run driver.

For the New York Post, I wrote about the untimely death of Peter Gianatiempo, a retired NYPD detective, 9/11 responder and hockey coach who advocated tirelessly to promote adaptive hockey for individuals with disabilities.

I’m devasted by the death of my close friend and longtime confidant, @tgerbasi. In addition to being one of the all-time most prolific combat sports jorunalists, Thomas Gerbasi was one of the most beautiful people I ever knew. I literally just saw him on Sunday at Vincent’s Clam Bar on Long Island. I won’t ever be the same.

It was so humbling to begin teaching on campus in the Department of English at Queensborough Community College today, on what would have been my father’s 78th birthday. Here is a photo of Pop with Edmund Volpe, the late president emeritus of the College of Staten Island

I spent two months reporting on rowdy boat and jet ski parties in and around City Island for the New York Post. People on both sides of the argument had a lot to say and gave me rare access.

Congratulations on a legendary career #JeremyLin. Besides being an NBA Champion, you are one of the greatest stories in #Knicks history and you made the Nets entertaining during your time in Brooklyn. Thanks for taking this pic with me. @JLin7

In May I wrote about a missing security guard and stolen platinum for @PopMech Now the Pennsylvania State Police are offering a $5,000 reward in the case. Might not be connected but good news all the same. popularmechanics.com/science…

For the New York Post, I spoke to former Dickey’s Barbecue Pit owners on Long Island who say they were misled by the company with claims of sweet profits that turned out to be all smoke and mirrors.

For the New York Post, I wrote about a 1969 Fordham University graduate who, thanks to a kind Long Islander with a metal detector, got his long-lost college ring back over 55 years later.
