My career in journalism began as a stringer at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner before making my way east to write at the Washington Star. I toiled for more than a decade as a columnist for, Gannett, the world's largest newspaper chain.

Also, I was a columnist for Casino Player, the respected national publication devoted to gaming and the casino industry. I've written for other venerable publications such as Daily Racing Form; Hoofbeats and Times.

As executive-producer and host of "Winner's Circle," heard on a Philadelphia 50,000-watt radio station, and a CBS affiliate. I covered the worlds of sports and entertainment. I was proud to have several exclusive interviews, most notably, one of Johnny Cash's last appearances and world-famous, champion jockey Eddie Arcaro, who honored me with his final interview before passing away. I've been a regular contributor on the world podcast of Cotolo Chronicles.

With regard to my television background, I appeared on ESPN, and made frequent guest appearances at racetracks throughout the country, who sought me out for my racing expertise, for their network telcasts. Also, I co-hosted "At The Races," a regional show devoted to the Sport Of Kings, with J.J. Graci - yes, THAT J.J. Graci.

As a regular contributor, I was writing and performing political satire on the top-rated "Dude and Dudess" morning-drive radio show on WMGM-FM, working with Steve Ross.

My words have appeared in Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, and New York's Village Voice, as well.

Many of my short stories and poems are published in anthologies.

Recently, some have been selected and published internationally in university literary journals.
