I am a writer, reporter, journalist, and filmmaker currently serving as an entertainment and culture reporter for Fox News and SiriusXM Radio.

My career began San Diego State University, where I learned to fly planes and report on highway gatherings. After a near-fatal plane crash, I returned to my hometown of Philadelphia, where I subsequently worked at CBS, NPR, and NBC. With a growing interest in stories from marginalized voices in the Philadelphia community, I transitioned behind the camera to produce for WYBE TV, earning an Emmy nomination eventually moving into reality television, producing and directing over 250 episodes for major networks like NBC, Showtime, and TLC, with successful shows such as Trading Spaces and Ambush Makeover.

I eventually made my way into the filmmaking industry, writing, directing and producing projects that reached the big screen, including G.B.F starring Megan Mullally and Mayor Cupcake featuring Lea Thompson. However, financial challenges forced me into starting a podcast in 2012, which gained traction, followed by a call from Fox News radio in 2014, where I have thrived as an entertainment reporter and culture commentator.

The COVID lockdown in 2020 provided the opportunity to write my memoir, The Fracturing: Love and Madness at the End of the Century, A Complicated Love Story — a work of narrative nonfiction that explores how confronting the most painful truths of our lives can lead to profound transformation.

 

In 1997, I left the woman I loved without understanding why. The decision triggered a psychotic break — an unraveling that echoed a childhood trauma I had never known existed. Years later, while working as a reporter — I began to question not only the public narratives I helped shape, but those I had constructed about my own life. As my professional world fractured, so did the personal mythology I had long clung to.

 

This memoir weaves an intimate personal reckoning with a broader meditation on how media, misinformation, class divisions, and identity narratives shape — and distort — our inner lives — and how confronting these often-hidden forces can lead to profound personal transformation.

 

I am currently a fellow for FAIR in the arts, a nonpartisan network promoting freedom of expression and excellence in creative endeavors, and active in the SoCal Alliance of Braver Angels.

Writing

charles-bukowski-quotes-drink-from-the-well.jpg

Every day I have the privilege to talk about the entertainment industry on Sirius XM Fox News Headlines and Fox News. In my free time, I write about the simplest things and the hardest things. About the people that I've met and meet and how they've touched me. About nature and the splendor of the smell of the California sunset after it rains. Only thing is, you've never heard these stories. One day you will.  Glad you stopped by, connect with me on social media and say hi, soon.
