A member of the National Thoroughbred Writers and Broadcasters Association, his work has appeared in BloodHorse Magazine and America’s Best Racing. He previously served as the lead horse racing writer at Legal Sports Report, where he covered the business side of the industry including state gaming revenue, track economics, and the intersection of legal sports betting and racing.
