Print Magazines, Editing:

Bene Magazine
From 2005 to 2007, I was the editor-in-chief of Bene Magazine, a national quarterly about Italian life and style. We published five issues, which covered food, wine, fashion, art, design, travel and lifestyle. Bene was named one of the 30 most notable magazine launches of 2006 by Mr. Magazine, and was awarded the 2007 Folio Eddie Silver Medal for "best travel issue." See excerpts from articles about exploring Ponza by moped, drinking wine right from the vineyards, stinky cheeses, cured meats, ten ways to dress like an Italian, a wine-addled love story, perfect suits for dinner, summer treats, the original mama's boys, fall sweaters and a museum curator who loves paperclips.

Topic Magazine
From 2003 to 2006, I was a senior contributing editor to Topic, a quarterly independent magazine about the adventure of living. I scouted and interviewed many "real-life" contributors, including a fox hunter, white-collar criminal and former jewelry thief. I also conceived and planned a major fund-raising comedy event, featuring comedians David Cross, Andy Borowitz and Jonathan Ames.
