I write about dreamers, doers and rascals in whatever settings the changing media landscape can offer. Look for my articles and essays these days at LinkedIn and Quora.com. Other writing homes over the years have included The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg View and Fast Company magazine. My professional work includes five hardcover books, starting with 1992's "Merchants of Debt," an ambitious three-year project that's become an enduring classic in explaining how Wall Street really works. Other titles include the New York Times bestseller "Perfect Enough," as well as several e-books. In 1997, I shared in the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. In 2018 I received an honorary doctorate from Washington & Jefferson College. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago. As an adult, I lived in New York City, London, Cambridge MA and Washington DC before settling in northern California. I'm a slow but stubborn hiker. Adventures over the years include trekking in Nepal, Peru and New Zealand, as well as traversing the Grand Canyon and reaching the top of Mt. Fuji. Favorite writers include Thomas Boswell for sports; Kirstin Downey for biographies; Matt Levine for financial commentary and Gretchen McCulloch for slyly decoding our Internet habits.
