He was an embedded CNN reporter in Iraq, and has also worked for PBS/Frontline World and several agencies within The United Nations. While at CNN, he was one of the first journalists to pioneer "backpack journalism," in which one person reports, shoots and edits their own material, using digital video cameras and laptop editing stations. His stories have included a post-9/11 look at Hezbollah, child trafficking in Romania, the plight of AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the struggles of an 11-year-old girl who lives in a refrigerator box in Central America's largest garbage dump.
