Dan McCue is an independent business and economics journalist living in Charleston, South Carolina. He writes frequently on international trade, direct foreign investment, and port-related issues. But while the world of business and commerce has been a significant focus of late, Dan has also written extensively on a wide range of topics for newspapers, magazines, newsletters and the Web. The subject areas he's covered include the environment, government (state, federal and local), education, religion, NASA, downtown redevelopment, religion, sports (horseracing, New York Jets during the Parcells/Testaverde era, and amateur motorsports), and the law. He began his writing career as a rock journalist, writing on popular culture for publications ranging from Seventeen to Spin to the very local, Island Ear, in Long Island, New York.
