I have worked as a correspondent in Brazil since 1999, writing mostly for US and UK publications. I recently published ‘Doctor Socrates: Footballer, Philosopher, Legend‘ a biography of the most revolutionary footballer ever, and today I write mostly about sport for Reuters news agency.
I am also the Brazil representative for the Committee to Protect Journalists.
I was the South American correspondent for the Chronicle of Higher Education and used to write business stories for The New York Times and Monocle.
Before moving to Rio de Janeiro I worked for seven years in Mexico, where I got my first break as a journalist at the Mexico City News. I moved to UPI and from there went to Haiti to cover the civil war. In Port-au-Prince between 1993 and 1995 I worked mostly for Reuters and The New York Times.
I moved back to Mexico in 1995 to take over as superstringer for The Houston Chronicle. During my remaining years in Mexico I wrote for host of other publications, including GQ, Esquire, Conde Nast Traveller, the (Toronto) Globe and Mail, The Guardian and the Scotland on Sunday.
I arrived in Rio in 1999 and then moved to São Paulo in 2007.
In addition to my written work I occasionally appear on radio and TV.
I have worked for the World Economic Forum on Latin America and I also did some consultancy work for a Russian business organisation and the Goias state government.
