He has been responsible for a team of about 10 reporters covering everything from autos to aerospace to airlines to outer space.
Klayman got his start in journalism professionally in 1990 on a small weekly in Maryland, and was the business editor of the Youngstown Vindicator and then a business reporter for the Toledo Blade until he joined Reuters in 1998.
He has covered a broad range of industries in my time, including automotive, manufacturing, housing, telecommunications, sports business and general news.
Klayman is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis.
