Now back to the bio:
I've done a lot of things. I was a music columnist in Hollywood, a record company executive in New York, a guard at an L.A. juvenile hall, a cab driver in L.A., and a dishwasher in my youth. I was a writer on the radio program The History of Rock 'n Roll, the interviewer and writer on Motown's 10th anniversary special The Motown Story. I wrote the trouble making book The War on Christmas, published in 2005.
I spent a decade as a television street reporter in San Francisco, plus two more decades tv reporting variously around California in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Sacramento. I grew up in the far north, in Redding, and went to high school in Fresno. I graduated from the UCLA Film School in 1969.
After half a career as a general assignment reporter I became an anchor, first for MSNBC and later for Fox News in NYC.
When my television days were over I did talk radio for a few years before it was time to end the broadcasting phase of my life.
I put my tv reporting years to use in the Mickey Judge Mystery series, first with OJ's Knife, published in 2021 and now in Death in the Reeds, published September 2022.
I didn't leave California until I was 50 years old, and while I've since lived in New Jersey and Texas, I won't live long enough to have lived anywhere longer than those decades in my native California.
