Interview

What's your favorite social network?

My favorite social network will always be Facebook. I’ve been on it since day one, and it’s where Nerdtropolis was born long before it became a full entertainment site. That community grew to more than 90,000 followers, and it’s where I first realized so many other people loved movies, TV, and pop culture the same way I did. It’s still the place where I see the strongest engagement, the best conversations, and the most loyal followers — so it’ll always feel like home base.

Why did you become a journalist?

I became a journalist because I grew up obsessed with movies, TV, and pop culture, and I wanted to make that world feel as accessible and fun for others as it always felt for me. As a kid, I’d literally walk to the store to buy a VHS of the newest release, watch it, and then write my own “reviews” before I even knew what journalism really was. That passion never went away — it just evolved. For me, journalism is storytelling with purpose. I love breaking down why something works (or doesn’t), celebrating the people who make the stuff we love, and giving fans a place where they feel seen, included, and energized. That’s why I started Nerdtropolis in the first place: to build a home for fellow fans, highlight exciting projects, champion creators, and share conversations that go deeper than the usual press-tour soundbites. At the end of the day, I’m a journalist because I genuinely enjoy informing, engaging, and entertaining people, and because pop culture has given me so much that I feel compelled to give something back.
