I've worked for about the last decade as a Jerusalem-based bureau chief, correspondent and photographer, covering breaking news and features in this volatile region for many international TV, Radio, Internet and Print-based news agencies, and other outlets.

In Feb., 2010 I resettled back into a reporting and related news beat in Israel, after concluding a three-year stint with Georgia Public Broadcasting Radio, as their Columbus bureau chief.I covered spot news and feature stories all over west-central Georgia, as well as working as a freelance metro Atlanta reporter for WABE FM 90.1, and podcaster for state and commercial clients.
In 2010 and 2008 I was awarded Georgia Associated Press Broadcasters Association "Specialized Reporting" and "Team Series" awards for my feature radio coverage of people and events in southwest Georgia.
These days, I'm available, geared-up and ready-to-roll as a freelance journalist, A/V multimedia producer, photographer, and voice-over talent wherever the assignment takes me.
