Experience

Morgan first fell in love with the journalistic atmosphere at a university newspaper called The Daily Illini, where he worked as a social media copywriter. He drifted away from journalism and writing for a bit to pursue his passion for photography. Morgan jumped at any chance to photograph and try various foods from different restaurants around Chicago, IL, and Detroit, MI. He later rediscovered his passion for writing as a gear reviewer for Pack Hacker, where he also got the opportunity to appear on their YouTube channels, filming reviews for the gear he tested. Now, as a features writer for The Daily Meal, Morgan is able to combine his passions for food and drinks, writing, and photography.

Education

Morgan earned his bachelor's degree in advertising from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with additional areas of focus in Spanish, Japanese, and communication.
