I cover all entertainment, gaming, and current events in Las Vegas for the web's largest casino news site. I write 3-4 daily aggregated and enterprise news stories, and I cover events and generate ideas for regular features, such as my weekly "Vegas Myths Busted" series, which generates more unique hits (200K-300K) than anything else on the site.

Features, news and humor stories for a multitude of household names including Rolling Stone, the L.A. Times, Entertainment Weekly, People, Men's Health, Vice, MSN, New York Magazine, US Weekly, the New York Daily News, Details, E! Online, Billboard and the Hollywood Reporter.

San Diego, California, United States

I created and led strategic communication outreach efforts for the top-rated health system in San Diego, using my journalism skills to identify newsworthy stories about its doctors, patients and research, and fleshing them out into compelling articles, press releases and blogs. I also coordinated TV news shoots and procured and produced my own visual.

San Diego, California, United States

I drafted speeches, all social media and proclamations and commendations for San Diego City Council President Pro Tem Barbara Bry. I created and wrote a weekly newsletter profiling local small businesses devastated by the pandemic. And I managed special projects for the District 1 Council office, including the preparation of case reports on problematic.

Greater San Diego Area

I wrote 10 enterprise news stories a week for the La Jolla Light newspaper, covering all developments in the wealthiest enclave in California, sometimes via weird and quirky angles. Twenty-five of my stories were picked up by the Union-Tribune, one of which inspired two separate columns celebrating its reportage, and another of which earned a link in the.

I developed, wrote and implemented branded creative content — including advertising, web and social media copy and a wide variety of project work across multiple channels, from concept through produced materials. I identified topics of interest to niche communities and audiences. And I assisted in SEO/SEM and marketing initiatives.

I wrote three weekly enterprise trend, profile or issue stories about local business, and curated breaking business stories for this start-up satellite website and newsletter launched by the national business journal. I also wrote targeted social media posts for Crain's promoting my stories and the brand.

Las Vegas, Nevada Area

I co-wrote and edited grant proposals, academic proposals, white papers and books for a team of 50 biology researchers and geneticists, translating their esoteric concepts into simple language. I also served as the school's writing coach. In the first year after this position was created for me, I drafted 50 grant proposals that doubled funding approval.

Las Vegas, Nevada Area

I created the most popular humor column in the history of Las Vegas. For "Fear and Loafing," which appeared 176 times in the Las Vegas Review-Journal from 2006-2011, I jumped on any grenade for good copy. I washed the windows atop the Stratosphere, go-go danced in a gay bar and midwifed a baby. For each column, I wrote, co-produced and starred in an.

Los Angeles, CA

As the main film, TV and music reporter covering Hollywood for more than five years, I wrote more than 100 profiles, interviews and trend pieces for one of the most widely read newspaper entertainment sections in the world.Among my interview subjects were Steven Spielberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Beyonce. And my mentors here included the legendary Vinnie.

Torrance, CA

As the newspaper's pop music critic, my proper job was reviewing all local music concerts and albums. But the terrific thing about working for a small newspaper is the freedom it allows you to explore other interests. It was in this staff position that I wrote my first stories about technlogy, movies and politics. I also began my first-person musings as a.
