His writings have been published in the Jerusalem Post, The Commentary, Moment, the Jewish Week, and in virtually every Orthodox weekly or monthly publication, including a weekly column in Mishpacha magazine for nearly 20 years. In addition, he has written seven biographies of major Torah leaders and co-authored a memoir with Lieutenant Meyer Birnbaum.
He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Yale Law School, and practiced law in Chicago, followed by more than a decade of full-time yeshiva and kollel learning.
