I am a freelance journalist. My work has appeared in The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, St. Paul-based Midwest Energy News, and in publications around the world, from Russia to Australia. I mainly work for newpapers and magazines in Belgium and The Netherlands. My book 'Amerika zoals het is' ('America as it is') came out last October in Belgium. Sorry, no English translation yet.

I am a father of two, news junkie, basketball aficionado, and a certified BBQ judge.
