Hi there. Thanks for visiting my site.

I write mostly about crime and justice. My stories have run in New York, ELLE, Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and other publications. I’ve won a Sidney Award, Green Eyeshade Award, Terry Hughes Award and first-place prizes from the National Association of Black Journalists, the Association of Alternative Newsmedia and the North Carolina Press Association.

My longform articles have featured a sex trafficking survivor-turned-sociologist (backstory); #MeToo on Rikers Island (backstory); the Kim Kardashian of steroids; wrongful conviction through the curious lens of accident reconstruction; a nitrous oxide-peddling gang; a Grindr grifter; death and prison healthcare; overdose cases linked to heroin and N-bomb; a high school wrestling tragedy; child murder victims; and a baseball player-turned-attorney who took on MLB.

I live in Cleveland and am still often reminded that John Tucker Must Die. Say hello at JohnHTucker at gmail dot com.
