cut his teeth in media freelancing for a local Westchester, NY newspaper and later as an editor at Electronic Design Magazine. Preferring freelance work, John writes articles for the video game and information-service industries in addition to contributing regularly to Scribbal’s site.
Under the philosophy that you can never know everything, John approaches his articles with a curiosity and open mind. Because social media changes by the minute, he’s always sniffing out the newest tidbits of information while still trying to master the social media services we know and love.
When he’s not hovering over a computer monitor, John likes to game on his Xbox and PS3, shoot hoops, cook and read anything from Dostoevsky to comic books…ahem…graphic novels.
