ABOUT

I am a writer, journalist, and filmmaker, currently serving as an entertainment and culture reporter for Fox News Radio. My career began at San Diego State University, where I learned to fly  planes and cover traffic from above. After a near-fatal crash, I returned home to Philadelphia and launched my reporting career inside the extraordinary broadcast institutions of CBS, NPR, and NBC. I moved behind the camera to tell deeper stories at the publicly funded WYBE-TV, earning an Emmy nomination before transitioning into reality television. Over the next decade, I produced and directed more than 250 episodes for networks including NBC, Showtime, and TLC.

​

My path eventually led to film, producing feature films.  G.B.F. starring Megan Mullally and Mayor Cupcake with Lea Thompson were just a couple of my favorites. Financial realities pushed me toward podcasting, and in 2014 Fox News Radio called. Since then, I’ve thrived as an entertainment reporter and cultural commentator.

THE FRACTURING: LOVE AND MADNESS AT THE END OF THE CENTURY

​

The COVID lockdown gave me the space to turn inward and write my memoir, The Fracturing: Love and Madness at the End of the Century, a 55,000-word narrative nonfiction about how confronting the truths we bury can break us open—and set us free.

In 1997, I walked away from the woman I loved—repeating a wound I could not yet see, born from childhood stories in which my mother kept leaving the very people I grew close to. I learned early that love disappeared without warning, that silence was safer than need. Those myths became the architecture of my heart.

The rupture with June split open everything I thought I understood about truth, connection, and love.
To survive, I built myths around her loss—stories that disguised pain as purpose. Years later, as a journalist questioning the public narratives I helped shape, I was forced to confront the private ones living inside me. As my professional world began to fracture, so did the illusions I had constructed to keep myself intact. What remained was the truth I had once seen reflected in her eyes—and spent a lifetime avoiding.

At its core, The Fracturing is both a love story and an inquiry into class—how it shaped my most intimate relationship and my career in journalism, and how silence in both became a substitute for connection. It’s a story about the courage required to face the information we most want to avoid—and the freedom that becomes possible when we finally listen.
