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, with hit series such as Trading Spaces and Ambush Makeover.

​

My path eventually led to film. I wrote, directed, and produced features that reached theaters, 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 transform us.

​

In 1997, I walked away from the woman I loved without understanding why. The rupture was the result of a psychic break, echoing a childhood trauma I had long suppressed. To survive, I built stories around the loss—stories that kept me from myself. Years later, as a reporter questioning the public narratives I helped shape, I was forced to reckon with the personal myths I had constructed about her loss, and about myself. As my professional world collapsed, so did the illusions I clung to, until the story I’d carried since childhood finally crumbled, revealing what I had long seen reflected in her eyes.

​

At its heart, 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 realms replaced the connection I was searching for. Ultimately, it’s about how facing the truths we fear most—whether personal or collective—can set us free.
