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 edit Theme Park Insider, as well as serve as the co-founder and producer of Violinist.com.

I cover attraction openings in Southern California and Central Florida and welcome press releases and news tips from parks covered on the site, as well as from all Theme Park Insider readers. Please use the button below to e-mail me.
