JOURNALISM
VICE/LA Weekly
COLUMNISTAs a masthead columnist for LA Weekly and VICE, I told the complicated story of Los Angeles from many different angles.
I jumped off cliffs, climbed under bridges, and snuck into grave sites. I interviewed rappers (Chief Keef), tech CEOS (Hans Yang), councilmen (Jose Huizar), street artists (Plastic Jesus), real estate moguls (Jonathan Schley), models (Permaid), restauranteurs (Tyler Wells), and the Mayor of Skid Row (General Jeff).

OTHER PROJECTS
An Agency
WILLIn the summer of 2020, mid-pandemic, I decided to launch my own creative agency to conduct engagement marketing campaigns. You know the sort of daring meme marketing that everyone always talks about doing but never does? We set out to actually do it.
WILL is also openly anti-cancel culture, which we found to be a great way to start a conversation. It was.
A Podcast
Not a Huge FanFor four years I co-hosted a podcast called Not a Huge Fan with my best frenemy Charles Disney. We were named a top podcast of 2017 by a Dutch newspaper.
Some standout episodes: Gimlet Whimper Fry, Burning Man, Gay Pornstar Philosopher, Disgraced Food Network Host, Real Estate Bro, Nazi Puncher, Alt Right Intellectual, Ethical Satanist, Homeless Advocate, Rabid Marxist, and all the Annoying LA Comedians you can handle.
One UK fan described it as “Far Future Digital Archaelogist PhD Thesis Material.”
A Press
Vandal PressI co-founded Vandal Press, a new sort of publication built on micropayments platforms. We generated close to one million hits and made thousands of dollars for our independent writers.
