Sure, I wrote the comic memoir, "Cabin Pressure: One Man's Desperate Attempt to Recapture His Youth at Summer Camp." But, you may ask, what else have I done? You sure are nosy, but I'll indulge you. After growing up in historic Lexington, Massachusetts (you know that liberty you enjoy in America? YOU'RE WELCOME!), I attended Tufts University. There I founded the campus humor magazine, The Zamboni, a title I thought was very clever at age 19. Upon graduation, I moved to New York and worked on a series of television shows that I could not in good conscience ever recommend my friends watch. Perhaps you remember my production-coordinator work on Lifetime Medical Television's "Cardiology Update"? People are still talking about the season-three cliffhanger. Realizing TV was not for me, I attended Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism (go Fightin' Sources!), and then spent a year fact-checking at Vanity Fair. The writers I worked with there taught me a very important rule of journalism: if you know a fact-checker will later need to review your interview tapes, do not leave your recorder running in your pocket while you go to the bathroom. From VF I headed to Entertainment Weekly as the first original writer for its online site, EW.com. I later moved to the magazine, where I am now a senior writer, and now can sense when a major movie is bombing just by the way the wind changes. My work has also appeared in the New York Times, Time Out New York, Sports Illustrated, and Golf magazine, and my commentaries have been heard on NPR's "All Things Considered." I live in Brooklyn with my wife, Christine, and daughter. I am six-foot-seven-inches tall, but trust me, you do not want me on your basketball team.
