Hello dave Published Works

I've been writing this blog since February 2014, and I've felt that several of the essays I wrote were good enough to submit to newspapers as feature pieces. Luckily for me, the newspapers agreed on a few. Newsday and amNewYork published them. 

I greatly appreciate their guidance and editing. The process was educational for me. If I'm lucky, I'll get to publish more in 2015.

Newsday, April 2014

Newsday printed the following piece in their Saturday "Expressway" column. There were a lot of strong opinions about this piece, some highly positive and some angry. All feedback is good feedback, so I appreciate every comment.

amNewYork, December 2014

amNewYork printed a piece I wrote about paying good deeds forward. It was a good fit with the holiday spirit of December. Many people shared it.
