I write about commerce, politics, economics, wealth and poverty in Central Connecticut for The Hartford Courant and www.courant.com. I also oversee business coverage for the newspaper and website, and appear weekly on FoxCT news.

Since graduating from Wesleyan University in 1981, I've been at The Courant as a photographer, town reporter, business reporter and columnist, political writer and business editor.

Parenting, public policy, ultimate frisbee, kayaking, visual art.
