Mike De Socio
Mike De Socio is an independent journalist and author of the nonfiction book, "Morally Straight: How the Fight for LGBTQ+ Inclusion Changed the Boy Scouts—And America." With more than a decade of experience in journalism, he's excelled in every part of the newsroom, working as an editor, writer, reporter, photographer and one-time coder.
Now in his practice as a freelancer, Mike puts those skills to use for publications like the Washington Post and the Guardian. His reporting tackles the most pressing social issues of our time by rigorously reporting on their solutions.
He takes that fearless spirit into his personal life, too. When he's not writing, he's been known to ride his bike across entire states or summit treacherous peaks in the dead of winter. Catch him traversing Italy, where he's a dual citizen, or upstate New York, where he's lucky to call home.
