When not working, he’s often out and about in Los Feliz, the best neighborhood in LA, with his wife Mallory and their dog Bixby, who you can follow on Instagram. He’s also commonly spotted losing Kirkland balls at the golf courses of Southern California. He’s a season ticket holder for the supporters’ section of Angel City FC and is currently replaying Fallout 4.

He grew up in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio, and graduated with a public relations degree from Kent State University, where he won back-to-back intramural broomball championships. He also co-founded the university’s dodgeball club. He was once called the “karaoke king of Los Feliz” by a stranger, and in 2016, he had a sandwich named after him at a the Greyhound, a bar in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood. It was $11, came with one side, and was very popular.
