An experienced writer, editor, content developer, and proofreader based in Chicago, David has published in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago magazine, the Chicago Reader, Newcity, Time Out Chicago, Mindful Metropolis, the Philadelphia Inquirer and other publications in both the United States and France. A keen observer, he loves to introduce readers to people, stories and ideas they never otherwise would have known. In 2016, he spent four months biking across America, during which time he wrote about the people he met, the adventures he had, and the wisdom he gained along the way. His book on the journey, “America on Two Wheels: Biking Coast to Coast in Search of Human Stories,” is now out and available at Bookshop.org and Amazon.
A graduate of Swarthmore College and the University of Chicago, David is available for assignments in writing, editing, proofreading, instructional design, research, fact-checking and French translation. Here are a few sample clips:
