Need an article about international relations for your magazine or newspaper? Input on foreign policy for your project? Or someone to write about more than just the stereotypes of American politics?

Look no further! An historian by training, I write about modern day diplomacy, security and politics worldwide.

As editor of the Atlantic Sentinel, a transatlantic news and commentary website, I’ve had more than two years experience revising and writing articles about developments and events that impact readers in Europe and the United States — sometimes beyond.

As a contributing analyst with the geostrategic consultancy firm Wikistrat, I regularly participate in strategic simulations about energy security, the unstoppable force that is globalization and the future of American superpower.

Topics that I write about include:

• American politics and their global ramifications
• Energy politics in the Caucuses and Central Asia
• Political shifts and trends across Europe
• Russia’s underestimated future as a greater power
• Shifts in the balance of power in the Middle East
• The future role and relevance of NATO
• The hyped rise of China (and America’s sometimes ill advised efforts to contain it)
• The scramble for the Arctic

And more! Please, browse my portfolio for an overview of recent articles I’ve written or visit my archive at the Atlantic Sentinel.
