He is joining Enveritas, an international non-profit that works with coffee farmers. At Reuters, he reported, designed and built interactive graphics.

“I love that team, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve done these last few years,” he wrote on Twitter. “But it’s time to listen to the voice that keeps asking, what if I stepped away from news for awhile?”
