Before this, he was a small-business reporter at The Wall Street Journal, covering technology, entrepreneurship and franchising. He has written for Worth magazine, Barron's, The Washington Post, The Tennessean and the New Jersey Law Journal. He has also contributed to The Wall Street Journal Complete Money & Investing Guidebook and The Wall Street Journal Complete Real-Estate Investing Guidebook.

He plays tennis, explores museums and goes to the beach during the off-season. During the pandemic, he adopted two babies: a money tree named Sydney and a fiddle leaf fig named Melbourne. So far, they're thriving. Green thumbs crossed.
