Bio
Sean Bugg began his writing and journalism career covering tax and security issues on Capitol Hill. Through the 1990s, he worked as a community activist, social marketing professional, humor columnist and contributing editor.
A founding writer and editor of Metro Weekly, Washington’s gay and lesbian newsmagazine, at its 1994 launch, Bugg went on to serve as the magazine’s editor in chief from 2000 to 2007, and is currently co-publisher and editorial director. He also blogs at BuggBlog.com about his passions of the moment, generally book, politics, media, tennis, cars and videogames.
He received his B.A. in Journalism in 1989 from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., and has been honored for both his journalism and community service.
At any given time, he'd probably rather be playing tennis.
