I’ve written for countless online and print publications, including Rolling Stone, AskMen, Men’s Health, Yahoo! Style, Cosmo, Maxim, FHM, The Manual, Penthouse, The Daily Dot, and more. Here’s a complete list of all my online writing.
I’m also the author of five books and the former host of two different podcasts—one where I interviewed professional wrestlers and the other where I interviewed world-class runners & athletes.
Some of my favorite pieces include the bizarre story of a high school friend who now works as a Zach Galifianakis impersonator on the streets of Las Vegas, the return of the wrestling jobber, and the odd but true story behind the characters in Dazed and Confused.
