In 30-plus years as a journalist, I’ve written for a variety of newspapers and magazines to include The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Runner’s World, Parents, Equus, Ladies’ Home Journal and Family Circle. A few have won awards, to include this profile of Tom Brady’s trainer, which took first place, sports writing, in the 2020 Top of the Rockies newspaper competition and first place, sports feature, in the Society for Features Journalism 2020 Excellence in Features contest.  Below are a few of my favorites.

When your daughters hate horses

The Jennifers are dying

Mother’s Day after divorce:  It’s toast

Tails out of Bethlehem

First, we kill all the leprechauns

My son, the Walzing Nazi

Gobble-de-gook.

She died of liposuction, and nobody knows

OMG, the new blasphemy

When your car is your home

Party like it’s 1849

The redemption of Mark Sanford

The grass ceiling

Why Secretariat still matters
