Who was Blake Hounshell?

Hounshell was born on September 4, 1978, in California to Bernard and Sylvia Hounshell. With two brothers, he grew up in Delaware and Pittsburgh. He grew raised in Delaware and Pittsburgh with two siblings. In 2002, he graduated from Yale University with a degree in political science before travelling to Egypt to learn and study Arabic. He met Sandy Choi there, and they later relocated to Washington, D.C., married, and had two children together.

Blake Hounshell Career

After graduating from Yale, Hounshell worked as an editorial assistant at Foreign Affairs magazine from 2003 to 2005 before becoming an editor at the New Republic later that year. From 2007 until 2015, he was Politico’s managing editor, where he covered domestic and international politics, foreign policy, and national security concerns. In 2015, he was named deputy editor of Politico Magazine before joining The New York Times as political editor in 2019, where he remained until his death last week at the age of 44.

Blake Hounshell’s Personal Life 

Hounshell survived a number of personal problems during his life, including surviving a stroke in 2000 while living in Cairo with Choi, who subsequently cared for him during his recuperation with his Egyptian friends there, whom they credited with saving his life. This experience taught them both valuable lessons about resilience, which helped shape both of their lives later, including when they relocated back to Washington D.C., got married years later (2008) with their Egyptian friends attending remotely via Skype due to visa requirements even after years apart since leaving Cairo, which was extremely special for them both! These same friends came over from Cairo when their first child was born! Definitely motivating!
