In January 2013, I became "Resident Dad" for A Child Grows in Brooklyn, an online home for Brooklyn parents. I'm writing about my adventures with food, park-going, music-listening, and general anecdotes and information from my experience as a father of two girls, one three years old and the other a baby, to whom I refer affectionately in the column as Stringbean and Butterbean.
One of the primary homes my writing has found is with Numero Cinq, which founder/editor Douglas Glover calls "a warm place on a cruel web." As a writer, editor, and mentor, Doug has been one of my great influences. Almost every piece he published on NC went through extensive editorial back-and-forth before he accepted it for publication, and all of them are better for it.
The site will be changing and developing (hopefully) fairly rapidly over the next couple of months as I get my past and present work up and loaded, so do check back frequently!
Friends, I hope you'll use this site to keep in touch and see what I'm up to. Strangers, I want to know you! And I want you to know me. That's why I write.
