Staff Writer

Steve Hendrix came to The Post more than ten years ago from the world of magazine freelancing and has written for just about every page of the paper: Travel, Style, the Magazine, Book World, Foreign, National and, most recently, the Metro section’s Enterprise Team. What his stories have had in common (in addition to awful first-draft spelling) was the goal of taking readers to a place they might never visit otherwise, from the top of Kilimanjaro to the mind of a local dude who lives life as a pirate, eye patch and all.
