ABOUT

I am a writer, journalist, and filmmaker who just left a 30-year career in news and media 

and is turning a new page. Where I go from here is TBD.

​

I am currently writing on Substack The Fracturing is about the stories we inherit, the stories we tell ourselves, and the forces shaping us that we can’t always see. I lifted the title from my forthcoming memoir, which you can find more about here. 

After more than three decades working in journalism, film and television, I’m building an independent home for the work I want to do next. On my Substack you’ll find essays, memoir and poetry about the private narratives that shape a life, alongside The Transit, where I turn outward, using journalism, history and mundane astrology to examine politics, culture, newsmakers, celebrity, power and the forces shaping our moment.

​

The Fracturing looks inward. The Transit looks outward. Both are driven by the same thing: curiosity about what lies beneath the stories we think we know.

​

​My career began in San Diego, where I learned to fly planes and report traffic from above. After a near-fatal crash, I returned home to Philadelphia and began reporting within the extraordinary broadcast institutions of CBS, NPR, and NBC. I later moved behind the camera at WYBE-TV, where my work earned 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 back to the West Coast and into feature film producing in Los Angeles, with projects including G.B.F., starring Megan Mullally, and Mayor Cupcake, (Philly project) starring Lea Thompson. Financial realities pushed me toward podcasting, and in 2014, Fox News Radio called.

​

During the COVID lockdown, I started on a project I shelved years earlier, my memoir. The Fracturing, a 55,000 word work of narrative nonfiction exploring love, class, and the stories we inherit before we understand they are not ours. After more than three decades spent reporting, producing, and trying to separate fact from fiction, I began investigating one of the most consequential moments in my own life. One that changed me forever, and continues to.

​

In 2025, I moved with my wife from Los Angeles to a home on 1.4 acres in Nashville. This is where the new chapter began.​ thanks for stopping by, and please say hi to me on social media or drop me a line or two here
