Reed lives in Brooklyn and has written for a number of places, including the San Fransisco-Bay Guardian, Well-Spent (RIP), Refinery29, FOXSports Detroit and the Salt Lake Tribune. In addition to that game of musical chairs, he also was the copywriter at Unionmade Goods (RIP) for two years — on the floor before that, his Yelp reviews were mixed — and currently works as a copywriter and strategist at a creative agency in New York. Other credentials of his include a crippling clothing addiction and unhealthy sleep habits, both particularly conducive to writing about the things covered on this site. He also has a dog, which he mentions frequently.
