My career in journalism began as a stringer at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner before making my way east to write at the Washington Star. I toiled for more than a decade as a columnist for Gannett, the world's largest newspaper chain.
As executive-producer and host of "Dusty Nathan's Winner's Circle," heard on a Philadelphia 50,000-watt radio station, and a CBS affiliate, I covered the worlds of sports and entertainment. I was proud to have several exclusives - most notably, one of Johnny Cash's last appearances, and also world-famous jockey Eddie Arcaro. Eagles head coach Ray Rhodes often played co-host on the show.
My words have appeared in Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, and New York's Village Voice, as well.
Many of my short stories and poems are published in anthologies. Recently, some have been selected and published internationally in university literary journals. I am currently working on my memoirs and teaching History at the college level.
