<h1 class="lh-1 mb-3 about-me">About Me</h1>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
Although I have roots as a nice Jewish boy from Minnesota, my journey as an investigative journalist is marked by a fierce commitment to leveraging advanced data reporting skills to scrutinize federal agencies, billion-dollar corporations, and intricate real estate transactions.
</p>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
I firmly believe in journalism as a public service and the critical role of investigative reporting in holding powerful institutions—political, economic, and beyond—to account. </p>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
For the past two years, I have served as an Investigative Data Reporter at the <span style="font-style: italic;">Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</span> in Pittsburgh, PA.
Notably, I was a lead reporter for <a href="https://www.propublica.org/series/with-every-breath",target="_blank" class="additional-link"><span style="font-weight:700">With Every Breath,</span></a>
a collaborative series with ProPublica that exposed Philips Respironics' global marketing of contaminated breathing machines, despite FDA warnings and internal expert findings of severe health risks to users.
The series was awarded the <a href="https://liu.edu/polk-awards/current-winners?",target="_blank" class="additional-link"><span style="font-weight:700">George Polk Award</a> for Medical Reporting</span> and was a finalist for the <span style="font-weight:700"><a href="https://goldsmithawards.org/announcing-the-2024-goldsmith-prize-for-investigative-reporting-finalists/" target="_blank" class="additional-link"> Goldsmith Prize in Investigative Reporting.</a></span>
</p>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
Additionally, my data-driven series <a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2023/02/03/pittsburgh-abandoned-homes-lots-city-owned-blight-violations-condemned/stories/202302050056",target="_blank" class="additional-link"><span style="font-weight:700">Left to Rot,</span></a> which uncovered Pittsburgh's vacant and abandoned property crisis, led to the revitalization of the city’s long-faltering land bank.
This series was a finalist for the <a href="https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/announcing-the-2024-livingston-award-finalists/" target="_blank" class="additional-link">2023 Livingston Award in Local Reporting,</a> recognizing the best work by journalists under 35, and won a <a href="https://sabew.org/contestsawards/best-in-business/",target="_blank" class="additional-link">2023 Best in Business Award</a> in the Real Estate category from the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing (SABEW).
</p>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
Prior to joining the Post-Gazette, I played key roles in ProPublica’s <a href="https://www.propublica.org/series/shadow-diplomats",target="_blank" class="additional-link"><span style="font-weight:700">Shadow Diplomats</span></a>
and The Washington Post and ICIJ’s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2021/pandora-papers-offshore-finance/?itid=lk_inline_manual_1",target="_blank" class="additional-link"><span style="font-weight:700">Pandora Papers</span></a> through the Medill Investigative Lab.
</p>
<p class="mt-3" style="text-align: left;">
I thrive on challenges and have an insatiable love for learning.
While I hold a BSJ and MSJ from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism — where I earned the Class of 2021's <a href="https://www.medill.northwestern.edu/about-us/awards/valedictorian-award.html" target="_blank" class="additional-link">Medill Valedictorian Award</a> and graduated in three years —
many of my computer-assisted reporting skills, from web scraping to portfolio development, are self-taught.
