Creator.

Who’s afraid of a little content creation? Not I. I’m a journalist who marries over a decade of reporting experience with a career spent on set, building and managing teams, securing and uplifting talent, and stepping—no, sashaying—in front of the camera when the mood strikes. (It strikes often.)

LET'S COLLAB

  • Connector.

    I’m not just a pretty face. I’m also a talking head.

    Community is at the heart of everything I do. Whether I’m hosting a party or moderating a panel discussion, my work is about bringing people together to celebrate, collaborate and grow. Photograph by Ness Devos.

    LET'S GAB

Gay genius.

Yes, it’s the name of my podcast. But it’s also a mindset that’s been foundational to the industry-spanning, multi-disciplinary work on which I’ve built my career.

It’s knowing your worth as the only man in heels in the room. It’s referencing Gio Ponti and your G-spot in the same article. And it’s telling the stories of the people you believe in, from tastemaking queer couples to Jennifer Coolidge.

It’s voice. It’s perspective. It’s genius. Photographs (L—R): Ryan Duffin for Out, Malike Sidibe for ELLE Decor.
