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.

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. 

The only truth you will ever know in life is love.
