Sal Vaglica

As a freelance writer, Sal Vaglica focuses on food, gear, gardening, technology, how-to stories, and adventure travel. A former staffer at This Old House, Serious Eats, Men's Journal, and Fatherly he's most interested in reporting and writing stories that are service-oriented. Finding sources who know what they're talking about excites him because he's convinced people in marketing are, 79 percent of the time, full of baloney.
Since the pandemic, you can find him working from the home he shares with his wife, tween daughter, and their labradoodle. You can find his bylines in the Wall Street Journal, Men's Health, Better Homes & Gardens, Bloomberg, Maxim, USA Today, Entreprenuer, Inc., Food & Wine, and others. When he's not reporting he's working on perfecting his donut recipe (yeasted, of course) and his latte art, both of which are still tasty even when he messes up.
