ABOUT

I am a writer, journalist, and filmmaker, currently serving as an entertainment and culture reporter for Fox News and SiriusXM Radio. My career began at San Diego State University, where I split my time between flying planes and covering traffic from above. After a near-fatal crash grounded me, I returned home to Philadelphia and launched my reporting career and worked within the extraordinary broadcast institutions of CBS, NPR, and NBC. Drawn to the stories of marginalized voices, I shifted behind the camera at WYBE TV, earning an Emmy nomination before moving 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. I wrote, directed, and produced features including G.B.F. starring Megan Mullally and Mayor Cupcake with Lea Thompson. But financial realities pushed me into podcasting, and in 2014 Fox News Radio called. Since then, I’ve thrived as an entertainment reporter and cultural commentator.

​

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 - is 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 of childhood stories in which my mother kept leaving everyone I grew close to. I learned that love disappeared without warning, that silence was safer than need. Those myths became the architecture of my heart. The rupture split open everything I thought I understood about connection, truth, and belonging.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 I had built around love, identity, and worth. As my professional world began to fracture, so did the illusions I’d constructed to keep myself intact. What remained was the truth I had 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 it takes to face the information we most want to avoid—and the freedom that comes from finally listening.
