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, from the effectiveness of targeted killings against Hamas to the Iranian threat and the Second Lebanon War; cultural exposes on the Israeli mafia; the growth of Israel’s economy; anti-Semitism and interfaith relations; environmental policy vis-à-vis water, alternative energy and greenhouse gas emissions; editorials on current events, and much 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.
