He holds degrees from Boston University and Emerson College, where his thesis film won a student Emmy, presented with a peck by Loretta “Hot Lips” Swit. He spent 26 years as a full-time journalist, including 15 with The Seattle Times, where he played very modest parts in Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Lakewood police massacre and the Oso landslide. He was also research director at Congress Watch in Washington, D.C., where he investigated the pharmaceutical industry’s political influence.
