About the site
Live from Silver City started as a blog focusing on news and politics, like thousands of other sites across the country. The twist: my focus was on Southwest New Mexico, and specifically Silver City and Grant County. I wrote primarily about local news and events, while also touching on environmental issues and open government concerns.
As the years have gone by and I moved away, it’s shifted to a more personal focus and especially toward my photography.
About me
I was born and raised in Silver City, where I spent 2004-2005 as a reporter at the Silver City Daily Press. Prior to that, I was editor for the student newspaper at Western New Mexico University, and then news director for two local radio stations.
I moved to Washington D.C. in 2007, and for more than two years was the Community Manager for the Sunlight Foundation and OpenCongress, two of the premier open-government organizations in the country.
I currently reside in Charles Village, an historic neighborhood in Baltimore, MD, with my girlfriend Meredith and our two kittens, Nutmeg and Squishy. In our spare time, we operate the UpDown Press and Bindery.
I’m also a photographer. It’s mostly a hobby, but if you’re interested please feel free to check out my Flickr page or browse the prints at my online store.
