Welcome

April 21st, 2008

Welcome to my humble abode. You are probably here for one of two reasons, unless you just stumbled on my site via random browsing. Either you know something about This I Believe, the radio series that I am involved with, or you know something about my musical career. Either way, welcome! The site is very much under construction, with very little yet up and running but this welcome page, but come back soon and we’ll have many other features in place.

A little about me…

I am the executive producer of the public radio series This I Believe, which is aired weekly on several NPR news programs, including All Things Considered, Weekend Edition Sunday, and Tell Me More. More information about This I Believe can be found at thisibelieve.org. I am also co-editor, along with my producing partner Jay Allison, of the book This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women, which you can find at most chain and independant booksellers as well as at Amazon.com.

Previously, I was a reporter for public radio programs such as All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Jazz Profiles, and This American Life, for which I produced a profile of my brother Alex, a Tom Jones impersonator. Often in collaboration with Jay Allison, I have produced several free-standing public radio specials including Breaking The Cycle: How Do We Stop Child Abuse. In addition, I have had the great pleasure of working with legendary radio playwright Norman Corwin to co-produce the public radio series 13 by Corwin as well as 50 Years After 14 August, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.

In my spare time, I am a performing songwriter with a few CDs released. You can listen to/purchase some of them at CD Baby. You can also download my last couple of albums music at most online music retailers, including iTunes. To download tracks from my latest album on iTunes, click here.
