In producing his website, he promises to apply the same standards of professionalism, ethics and accuracy as the mainstream press, with a goal to present South Florida news that can’t be found anywhere else. He may be snarky at times, passionate at others, but always tries to be fair.

He received a Master’s Degree in journalism from Northwestern University and learned the craft in places like Fairbanks, Alaska, and Nashville, Tenn., and eventually while covering crime and mayhem in New York City for the New York Daily News. It’s at the popular tabloid that he developed a taste for gossip, and the news behind the news.

He has been doing gossip since 1998, when he started South Florida Insider at the Sun-Sentinel. Three years later, he moved to the gossip big leagues at Star magazine first then the National Enquirer. In 2004, He returned to mainstream and started Page Two at the Post, leaving March 2011 to start Gossip Extra.
