This has been an odd year and per usual I’ve failed at updating this website. I’m hoping to change that in the new year. Here is my most recent work that came out in November and beginning of December 2020. Lastly I will be updating the photos in my portfolio in the coming weeks.

After nearly 2 years, I have finally updated the site. I am hopefully going to load a few other sets from 2015, 2016, and 2017 to the site here in the next couple weeks.
Also, here is a link to one of my most recent articles that is currently available in the April/May issue of The Progressive Magazine.

There are a lot of updates that I will be making, so keep checking back to see all the work that I have been up to since the last time I made an update.
It has been awhile since I last updated the site. A lot has happened between Summer 2015 and Summer 2016. I’m planning on uploading photos and a few links to the site here in the next week. Also I have a few unpublished essays that I will share here on the blog. Lastly, in the coming months I will be publishing photos with a new website called Comvite. I’ll share links here.

Greetings!
It has been a few months since I last did an update to the article list, and sadly it will be a few more days before I can get to updating that list…
There has been a lot happening down here in Guatemala. Since the end of April the country has been rocked by a massive corruption scandal that has reached the highest levels of the Government. It has already led to the resignation of the Vice President and at least 6 Ministers. I have updated the photo sets to include photos from the #renunciaya movement.
Now for an important note. I have been living in Guatemala for nearly a year, and for how busy I have been, I an currently not earning enough meet all the needs that have been arising. Beginning in July I will be launching a fundraising page or a paypal link for those who are interested in supporting journalism from below. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.
Thanks to everyone who visits this website.
Greetings from Guatemala!
Sorry I haven’t been the best at keeping this updated, and I’ve been busy – And I’m only now realizing how busy I’ve been since I lasted updated this site…

My work is once again on Upside Down World – I’m thrilled!
I talked a little about the situation with migration on an episode of Radio Dispatch, but this article at Truthout gets more into the situation.
This year I’m thrilled to announce that I’m officially a correspondent for the Chilean outlet Prensa OPAL. We are currently in the process of building a website, but in the meantime my work with them can be found here at our Oximity account.

And speaking of Radio Dispatch, I appeared on their show again to talk about the environmental impacts of the TPP and CAFTA, as well as the criminalization of social movements in Guatemala. Listen here.

There will be a couple other articles being published this next week. I’ll try and post them here.
I’m also considering doing a weekly breakdown of important stories from Guatemala and Central America. I’m really not a fan of the 5 thing model of reporting that has become so popular, but I might do something similar to bring attention to important stories that are not being reported on. Stay tuned. I have ideas. I always have ideas…
