Theme Park Insider member since October 27, 2000

I am the site's founder and editor, as well as a former attractions host at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, where I worked at Pirates of the Caribbean, Tom Sawyer's Island, Country Bear Jamboree and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Since leaving Disney, I've worked as a reporter and editor for several major newspapers and websites. I now work as the editor of the Online Journalism Review at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication, in addition to editing Theme Park Insider.

I try to cover attraction openings around the country and welcome press releases and news tips from parks covered on the site, as well as all Theme Park Insider readers. Please use the button below to e-mail me!
