Background and career
Hohler is native of Boston, and a graduate of Suffolk University.[1] He worked at the Monadnock Ledger, and then at the Concord Monitor beginning in 1983.[3] While a columnist at the Concord Monitor, he wrote the book, I Touch the Future: The Story of Christa McAuliffe, which describes the life of New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe who died aboard the space shuttle in 1986.[1]
He subsequently joined The Globe in 1987 as a political reporter, including work from 1993 to 2000 at the Globe’s Washington bureau.[2][3] From 2000 to 2004, he was the beat writer for the Boston Red Sox, including for the 2004 run in which the team captured their first championship since 1918.[3] He stated that covering the Red Sox "was the greatest challenge of [his] career.”[4]
