Hi, I'm Cole, a journalist based in New York City.

I'm currently an associate editor at the commodity news agency Argus Media, leading coverage of North American biofuels markets and policy. I try to take complex topics — like debates over ethanol blends in Congress or tanker ships full of used cooking oil — and distill why they matter for fuel markets, farmers, and the broader economy.

Previously at Argus, I covered emissions markets and was part of the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy's 2023 energy journalism fellowship.

I started my career as a writer for Resources, a magazine from the environmental economics think tank Resources for the Future. I decided I wanted to be a journalist while studying at the University of Chicago, where I edited the campus paper's never-boring opinion section.
