About Me


A native of Birmingham, Solomon is a full-service content provider who began working independently in early 2015; following 38 years with The Birmingham News and its succeeding entity, Alabama Media Group. He developed a long-standing reputation as a dependable writer who is adept at telling a story that is both enlightening and entertaining.

Beginning with his stint with AMG, Solomon expanded his skill set with his ability to negotiate and navigate a content management system. He dealt initially with Moveable Type and has added WordPress to his resume. Additionally, he expanded his storytelling into photography and videography.

While sports has long been a staple of his responsibility when he worked for The News, Solomon has now established himself as a communicator who is also comfortable addressing entertainment, general features and a myriad of other matters.
