About me

I am a features writer and news editor for The Jerusalem Post, where I have worked since 2000.

My articles have explored issues of Israeli security and strategy, touching on Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Iranian nuclear threat; the Israeli mafia and other cultural exposes; the growth of Israel’s economy; Israeli Arabs and the state; anti-Semitism and interfaith relations; environmental policy and research vis-à-vis water, alternative energy and greenhouse gas emissions; editorials on current events, and more.

I was born in central Texas, grew up in south Florida, and lived in Chicago for five years before moving to Israel in 1998. I underwent basic training in the Israel Defense Forces in 1999, serving in the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical defense unit. Before joining The Jerusalem Post, I worked as a translator at Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority). 

I live in Jerusalem with my wife, Dr. Melissa Ser, and our son Ariel.
