It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I know you expect high quality content from me. Here is a bird, not on the app formerly known as the bird app, against a blue sky.

New job alert! I’m excited to be joining the team at LiveU. I’ve been using their products and services for years - and it’s exciting to get to work with them directly!

Pro tip - “dating focus mode” that both mutes and hides the apps when you’re on a date - in one touch!

Traveling from Boston to NYC shouldn’t be more expensive by train than by plane. And driving a car shouldn’t be cheaper than taking the train.

I specialize in live video, production, distribution, digital/social, and development.

Over the years, I’ve worked with incredible talents like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Al Roker, Suze Orman, and Jim Cramer, and contributed to teams at CNN, Sports Illustrated, and Boston 25 News. Be next on this list!

My role at Boston 25 News was recently eliminated, so I’m looking for my next opportunity in digital or broadcast media. I specialize in live video, production, distribution, digital/social, and content development.

If you know of any leads in Boston or remote, let’s connect!

When did I troll you on YouTube? Twitter - sure. But YouTube?!

Anyone else eat hummus like this?

Do you remember what pack?

Literally why do 1.9k of you follow me?

@KobiEats has pushed himself to the edge of human limits for eating hot dogs at breakneck speed. But how SLOWLY can he eat a hot dog? Playing with Science h... 1st Annual Slow Dog Eating Competition with Takeru Kobayashi

Four years ago, I asked champion eater Takeru Kobayashi to slowly eat a single hot dog for 10 minutes while @neildegrassetyson.com did play by play.

I was scuba diving last week and my hearing was down by at least 50%. I could barely hear anything. I assumed I did some damage to my inner ear. At urgent care, the doctor found the true problem - what can best be described as a "disgusting" amount of earwax.

There are pictures… if you dare

Obviously I bought a sprinkle dispenser for my apartment

It’s my birthday and my girlfriend bought me 25 pounds of sprinkles and I couldn’t be happier!

Just type “DM: @“ and it’ll only go to them. Trust me.

I always try to pop them when I’m diving! To little success.
