I'm the author of WHEN WE SOLD GOD'S EYE, which came out in December 2024, and of BRAZILLIONAIRES, which was long-listed for the FT's Business Book of the Year Award in 2016. A former Bloomberg reporter, I've also written for The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Harper's, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post. My stories have been featured on Longform, and my article on the Amazon's ecological tipping point was selected for 2024's Best American Science and Nature Writing. I've received grants from the Pulitzer Center, the Fund for Investigative Journalism, and the Alicia Patterson Foundation. Born in New York City, I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and studied creative writing and Latin American literature at Sarah Lawrence College. I started my journalism career as a freelancer in Bogotá in 2008 before moving to São Paulo to work for Bloomberg. There I was assigned to the billionaire beat — the basis for my first book. I spent six years in Brazil and speak fluent Portuguese as well as Spanish and English. I now live with my wife in San Francisco; outside work, I'm an avid rock climber.
