- About:
Dave has been writing and editing for most of his life: in academia, the news media, and politics. After teaching composition for a dozen years at the University of New Hampshire, Dave moved to New Jersey in summer 2018. A former reporter with The Associated Press in Boston, Dave has a doctorate in Environmental Studies from the University of New Hampshire. As a grad student, he TA'd wildlife ecology classes and developed an approach to understanding the evolution of messy policy debates by mapping arguments and trends in the popular press. He loves to cook, hike, play music, climb trees, and hang out with his German Shepherds.
