Gizmodo Media Group video director since 2011 and head of Mocksession LLC since 1999. Wired called me an "Alpha Geek" and the New York Times called me a "seamless integration of man and machine." (It's still unclear if they meant that as a compliment.) I've been building things both practical and whimsical for more than 20 years. Things like this:
"Manti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax" (w/ Jack Dickey)
"The Long Con: How The Manziels Conquered America"
"This Is Why There Are So Many Ties In Swimming"
