I am a writer based in New York, covering finance, the environment, business, the outdoors, hockey, and mad schemes, when I can find them. More specifically, I have written about derivatives, high-frequency trading, peak oil, yoga apparel, viral videos, pond hockey, deepwater drilling, social media, satellite radio, gamblers, skeleton merchants, cockroach dealers, amateur rocket builders, the Minerals Management Service, the tremendous opportunties in the diaper business, and an artist working under the Triboro Bridge. Sometimes I go on television and the radio, mainly for Bloomberg.
