The Tulsa native attended Yale University and graduated with honors in English. His literary journalistic style has won many awards. He worked at The Tulsa Tribune one summer while in college. He has written several books, including the first, Funny Money, about the Penn Square Bank collapse in Oklahoma City and statewide oil bust.
