About Me

I’ve written for many newspapers, magazines, and sites and interviewed a variety of musicians, entertainers and people of interest, including U2 guitarist The Edge, Kiefer Sutherland, Fred Armisen, “Weird Al” Yankovic, William Shatner, Alice Cooper, Idina Menzel, Steve Martin, Steve Miller and Brian Wilson.
