Greg Farrell, Executive Director
Greg Farrell became executive director of the Pelham Examiner in June 2025, following the retirement of Rich Zahradnik, who cofounded the Examiner in 2018 alongside 24 Pelham students. Farrell began his journalism career more than 40 years ago at the Swampscott Reporter, a Massachusetts weekly. He reported on town meetings, profiled residents and covered controversial development projects. He subsequently served as a bureau chief at Adweek magazine, a white-collar crime reporter at USA Today, a Wall Street correspondent at the Financial Times and a senior reporter at Bloomberg News. He wrote “Crash of the Titans,” a book about the collapse of Merrill Lynch and its sale to Bank of America during the financial crisis of 2008. He taught high school earlier in his career and currently teaches CCD to middle schoolers at St. Catharine’s. He and his wife Cathy Taylor moved to Pelham in 2000 and raised two children here.
