Daniel Oppenheimer is a former staff writer at the Valley Advocate , a former high school wrestling champion, and a graduate of the MFA writing program at Columbia University. Presently, he exists.
He’s written for The Hartford Courant, Christian Century, the History News Network and TomPaine.com and has an essay about his hometown of Springfield, Mass. forthcoming in New England Watershed. He feels as if he’s written a great deal about masculinity, but most of it was in “On Wrestling,” his almost entirely unpublished (and unpublishable) Master’s Thesis. He’s definitely published essays on other interesting subjects, however.
