About Ben McNitt

I make custom designed, hand crafted furniture in my one person shop on the far northwest side of Tucson — www.mcnittbros.com. I also assist as a volunteer with the Communications team of WAMO – Tucson’s downtown Warehouse Arts Management Organization. Two prior careers – journalist with the Star and Tucson Citizen (1970s), CBS News and CNN Cairo Bureau Chief and Mideast correspondent (1980s); and environmental advocate working with the National Wildlife Federation in Washington, DC, completing an 18 year run there in 2006 as Senior Director of Communications.
