I am a U.S.-born freelance journalist specializing in the former Soviet Union. I've lived in and covered the former Soviet republics for more than a decade. I have also covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon. Over the years I have reported from several of the former republics covering politics, conflicts, business and finance. At various times, I managed up to 10 reporters, editors, photographers and other contributors responsible for the news gathering service. I previously served as an English-speaking foreign correspondent and senior editor in Moscow for TASS, deputy Moscow bureau chief for Turkey's Anadolu Agency and the UK's Daily Mail. I speak fluent Russian and have a number of local government, military and religious contacts in the region. Further information regarding my background can be found on LinkedIn: I am based in Kiev, but work full time in east Ukraine covering the ongoing conflict. |
