I’m an investigative reporter and consumer advocate, and I love this work. I started writing my Fearless Consumer column in 1996, when I lived in Charlottesville, VA. From 1996 to 1999, the column was published in C-Ville Weekly; from 2002 to 2007, it appeared in The Hook. As of January 2019, the column will appear first in The Recorder (Monterey, VA), with access limited to Recorder subscribers for the week the issue is on the newsstands (Thursday-Wednesday). After that, it will be posted on this website.
