 Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've lived in Los Angeles since 1994. I spent (too) many years working as an assistant and am now familiar with every single job title in Hollywood. Despite what you’ve heard, I was a good assistant, well known for yelling at bosses, stealing food out of conference rooms, having long-winded conversations while on mute, and helping other assistants cover their asses. One screw up no one discovered was the time I set up a huge client meeting only to realize that I forgot to tell the client. I have a master’s degree in Media Studies from Syracuse University which is totally worthless, but useful in holding over people’s heads. In real life I'm a freelance writer covering television and new media, and a content writer/content manager at Booeep.com. Despite my sarcasm and overall bad attitude, I'm a very nice person.

"What is IndustryNexus?" Our subscriber base is growing, so it's a good time for me to reiterate what this site is all about. It began as a Networking Group that Mark Weathers began, and he asked me to help turn it into a website. (Some of you may remember me from HollywoodMomentum.) It's grown organically into a place where writers can contribute pieces (all entertainment based) and young executives and assistants can search for jobs. We're a community based site, so that's why we ask you to register. This allows you to network with other people who are also registered on the site. (Try it out, it's fun.) For all questions about dodgeball games, after hours parties,our deal with The Improv in Hollywood (we get free tickets to Wed night "Comedy Juice" shows), email Mark at
