In addition to managing the station’s written content team, he led the show development of 15.5 weekly hours of original streaming-only video programming. He also served as a digital news producer at KNBC, KNTV and WCMH, in addition to running a video production and web development company.

He grew up in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio, and graduated with a public relations degree from Kent State University, where he won back-to-back intramural broomball championships. He also co-founded the university’s dodgeball club. He’s an avid golfer and was once called the “karaoke king of Los Feliz” by a stranger. In 2016, he had a sandwich named after him at the Greyhound Bar & Grill in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood. It was $11, came with one side, and was very popular.
