Professional Experience

My name is Les Neuhaus and I'm a contract print reporter based in the Tampa Bay, Fla. area. Through a combination of pitching stories and accepting assignments on a continuing, revolving basis for nationally-known legacy newspapers, wire services and websites across the U.S. and abroad, I am able to touch on a wide range of topics in my work. I also research and write reports for a humanitarian news organization based in Los Angeles. My background includes several years of living and working as a foreign and war correspondent across regions of Africa and Asia, including the Middle East. I'm a U.S. Air Force veteran with a family I love deeply.
