Puget Sound Business Journal staff writer Greg Lamm, who last year won a national Sigma Delta Chi journalism award for “Other people’s money,” a series of in-depth stories about Seattle financier Darren Berg, who was convicted of fraud and money laundering, has left the paper, Talking Biz News has learned.

Lamm covered banking and finance for the American City Business Journals paper. A replacement has not been named.

“I have left the Puget Sound Business Journal to pursue freelancing projects and some longer-form non-fiction writing projects,” said Lamm in an email to Talking Biz News. “Mostly, I am taking the summer off to spend with my son, and launching into full-time freelancing this fall. No set topics, but I suspect I will be focuses on business writing.”

He was also a reporter for the Tampa Tribune for four years. He is a graduate of the University of Florida and the University of Maryland.
