Chances are, you were referred to this page from my humor page. 

Where that page is a compendium of my humorous work, this page is intended as a means of demonstrating my ability to use words like "compendium." 

Following is a short listing of a few web-accessible examples of my journalistic writing (this is by no means a comprehensive list as the majority of my written work was never published on the web).

1. I have contributed to the The New York Post since fall of 2003. Although this story - which rated department stores - was for the Features section, I work primarily for the NYP Home Section.

   • June 18, 2005: I was responsible for the background reporting for this story. Quotes from Messrs. Fazio and Savage as well as the anecdotes about the models and the perfume business executive were all mine. (Page 1, Page 2; Link: 1, 2 (Free registration required for link))

   • May 1, 2004: The followup to the bidding war story below: This story provided advice to sellers on dealing with buyers who back out (Page 1, Page 2).

   • April 17, 2004: More real estate finance. This story advised buyers on how to handle bidding wars in a hot market (Page 1, Page 2).

   • March 6, 2004: I was a co-writer of Lisa Keys's cover story "Chic for cheaper," ( Page 1 , Page 2, Page 3) and also wrote this finance piece about jumbo loans (Page 1, Page 2).

   • January 31, 2004: Most of my contributions to this issue were relatively behind-the-scenes: I did a substantial amount of reporting for the cover story (Page 1, Page 2, Page 3), wrote another headline that made me laugh and most importantly edited the concluding "thing" in Lisa Key's ode to the G-train to "thang."

   • January 24, 2004: I've had the privilege of living in Hell's Kitchen for the past several years, so this article (Page 1, Page 2) about new luxury buildings in the neghborhood (co-written with Russell Scott Smith) held particular significance.

   • January 17, 2004: This real estate finance piece (Page 1, Page 2) discussed the closing costs that can, for example, make selling an $880,000 home for $965,00 one year later into a $32,000 net loss for the seller.

   • December 20, 2003: Lots of stuff in this issue. Lease buyouts, a $13.5 million hotel, and a chart that took three hours to make and was supposed to be much bigger (yeah, the little yellow thing).

   • December 13, 2003: Finance story number four, on pre-approval. Page 1, 2

   • December 6, 2003: My third finance story was about guarantors and co-signers. Page 1, 2

   • November 29, 2003: My second Post finance story, on mortgage points.

   • November 22, 2003: This story covers a new furniture showroom called Hadco, in Dumbo (the picture's of, uh, another guy). I also contributed to the "gadgets" story that starts on that page and continues here.

   • November 8, 2003: In addition to writing stories, I do a lot of caption and headline-writing, like this one which I liked so much that that I'm linking to it.

   • November 1, 2003: My first finance column, on the perils of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Page 1, Page 2

   • October 25, 2003: I wrote this story on bachelor pads with Alisa Conaboy.

   • October 18, 2003: I really liked this story, on the tax benefits for freelance workers. I also wrote this story about AMA, the (low- to mid-income) real estate company run by the rest of the Trump family.

   • October 4, 2003: A series of interviews with homeowners renovating their own apartments. 1, 2, 3.

2. The first of three stories I did for TD Monthly, a toy industry trade publication. This one was about RC (radio controlled) cars and trucks: They titled it "RC Cars and Trucks: More Tech Than You Think".

3. My second TD Monthly story, focusing on RC (radio controlled) boats: They titled it "Cruising Radio Control Style".

4. My third TD Monthly story was called "Flying High, but Not Out of Reach". This one was about RC (radio controlled) planes, helicopters and other aircraft.

5. One of the oddest stories I've ever written - for the inaugural issue of Well Informed Magazine it might be more appropriate for my humor page: "Interview With a Colonoscopy".

6. "Not the Real Slim Shady", originally published on Salon.com.

7. "In Search of Rich People", originally published on Forbes.com.

8. "To Love and Dis in New York", originally published in The New York Observer (and discussing Chelsea and Jonah Peretti's rejectionline.com).

9. Post-Boom Meal Plan: Order Online", originally published on Wired.com.

10. Several in a series of product reviews for the great Arik Hesseldahl of Forbes.com.

    1. "Sounding Out Home Theater" originally published on Forbes.com.

    2. "Apple Unwraps IPod" (and possibly the world's only skeptical review of Apple's iPod - in fairness, I was more concerned with the hype than the product itself) originally published on Forbes.com.

    3. "Nomad's Heavy Accessory", originally published on Forbes.com.

11. "Surf In Secret", originally published in Maxim.

12. "Keep It In Your Pants", originally published in Maxim.
