About

Howdy.

I'm a reporter and data journalist based in Los Angeles. The Daily Viz, launched in 2011, was my digital sketchpad — a place for creating and curating charts, maps, graphs and other data stories.

This blog has been inactive for about five years and offline until recently, when I migrated it from WordPress to Github Pages with Jekyll. You can read the code here.

These days I'm a senior data and graphics editor at CNN. I previously worked on the data desk at the Los Angeles Times, after stints covering LA County and working for two years as a special correspondent with the newspaper in Seoul.

Before the Times, I worked as an economics correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. Before that I was data editor at NPR and the first data applications editor at The Texas Tribune.
