What I Do

I am the Deputy Managing Editor / Editing and Standards at The Philadelphia Inquirer. I oversee the Multiplatform desk, which does final editing on all articles and produces the print editions of The Inquirer and Daily News.

My Background

I've been an editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer since 1989. Before moving to Philadelphia, I was a copy editor at the Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass., and a reporter and copy editor at the News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla. I am a graduate of Northwestern University and a native of Ohio.
