Jeremy Gantz can't quite seem to sit still. A freelance writer and graduate student at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in Chicago, he has lived in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Washington D.C. He recently moved to Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, from which he blogs about ugly new buildings at "There Goes the Neighborhood."

His work has appeared in the Chicago Defender, Shore magazine, The Daily Southtown, the Chicago Journal and The Cambodia Daily, at which he had a blast interning in 2007. He spent most of 2006 working as the only reporter of the Wareham Courier in Massachusetts, where he won a New England Press Association award for religion reporting and decided he loved journalism and the insanity of small-town politics.

While traveling through New Zealand, Australia, India and Cambodia, he wrote too many thoughts here. He is one of the Chicago Methods Reporter's faithful web producers.

He enjoys all sorts of writing, people and music, and is afraid that if he begins watching his new Twin Peaks DVD box set he will sever his few remaining ties to reality.
