I am an Assistant Content Editor at Hotdog, where I help to keep our fingers on the pulse of the streaming world. I have written many articles on a plethora of streaming subjects, from sports to kids shows and how-tos to reviews. I also prepare the weekly entertainment newsletter with new releases, deals, and current events in the streaming world.
My largest current contribution to the site is to the Sling TV section of the website, where I have created in-depth pages on how to watch anything from college golf to British soccer on the modular streaming service.
I studied literature and education at the University of Utah, but I have spent most of my life working in media and law. An early adopter in both tech and entertainment from way back, I was using Netflix back when it was only mail-order, and was an early user of Redbox (when they were just red kiosks at McDonald’s) as well. When Netflix and Hulu came along, I subscribed and never looked back.
Away from work, I enjoy movies, serial dramas (as of this writing, I’m on Season 4 of AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire), and rumors of me being a closet Pegasister can not, at this time, be confirmed. My kids think DVDs are coasters and commercials are a novelty.
