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 in Los Angeles, Fox News Radio called. Since then, I’ve moved to Nashville, which is where I continue to cover arts and entertainment.

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 set us free.

In 1997, I walked away from the woman I loved—repeating a pattern I could not yet see, born from childhood narratives that became fact. One that said, you came from brokenness, you cannot be the partner she needs. One 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 stories became the architecture of my heart.

The rupture with June split open everything I thought I understood about truth, connection, and love. To survive this loss, I built myths —stories that disguised pain as purpose. Years later, in 2016 and onward as I watched societal narratives collapse, I was forced to confront the private ones living inside me. As the journalism industry began to fracture, so did the illusions I had constructed deep inside to keep myself intact after losing her.

What remained was the truth of who I was, the woman I had seen reflected in her eyes.

At its core, The Fracturing is a love story haunted by class—by the distance between who I was raised to be and the person deep inside that June saw. It's also an inquiry into the public narratives I shaped while avoiding the private truths I couldn't bear to name. In both my relationship and my career, silence became a substitute for connection. This is a story about what it costs to face the information we've spent a lifetime avoiding—and what becomes possible when we finally do.
