I'm the Senior Regional Editor for New Jersey for Patch.com. Before joining Patch, I was the Online Editor at The Associated Press. Before that I was a senior producer for MSNBC.com for almost 10 years. I spent another 10 years as a legal journalist, as a reporter and executive producer of Court TV, and as editor of Georgia's daily legal paper, the Fulton County Daily Report. I started my journalism career as a reporter for the Atlanta Constitution. Once a month, the North Jersey Acoustic Music Meetup meets at our house to play loud, off-key folk music. My wife Linda and I share a house in Little Falls, N.J., with our two dogs.
