About

I’ve written for the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New York Observer, Reader’s Digest, The Huffington Post, The Daily, The Week, Los Angeles Magazine, South China Morning Post, Hemispheres, Golf Tips, Golf Living, Fore Magazine and Modern Humorist, among others. No, actually, I think that’s it.

A story I once wrote about people who fish golf course water hazards was selected for inclusion in the Best American Sports Writing. From late 2009 to early 2011, I reenacted my way through 2,000 years of Western civilization. The end product is the book, Man of War. Please read it. It nearly killed me.

As an actor I’ve appeared in the films 13 Conversations About One Thing, Whatever, Blackmale, Never Again and Strange Fruit; the TV shows Ed and Sex and the City; and onstage with Elevator Repair Service, The Civilians, The Ridiculous Theatrical Co. among many others.

For public radio I’ve produced segments for the programs Marketplace, Only a Game, The Next Big Thing, Weekend America, Soundcheck, Day 2 Day, Performance Today and On the Media.

I live on a congested island in the South China Sea with my wife, Wendy, and her two cats. Here’s one of them now. His name is Duster and he likes to read too.
