Corey is a newspaper editor, a Netscape Navigator, and Time Magazine's 2006 Person of the Year.

I'm the Entertainment Editor over at UWeekly and and freelance writer/internet researcher.

During my short little entertainment career I've met or interviewed a LOT of people including Chris Cornell, Godsmack, Yellowcard, Silvertide, Avenged Sevenfold, Jethro Tull, the Veronicas, 311, Shinedown, way too many to list here. I've also met or interviewed an unusual variety of people like Jungle Jack Hanna, Seth MacFarlane, Mo Rocca, Dave Chappelle, and yes -- Dr. Ruth. One of my first 'real news' stories came a week before the 2004 presidential elections I worked with my friend Colin Mack doing news coverage at a John Kerry rally with Bruce Springsteen and John Glenn - we were sandwiched in between CNN and an ABC affiliate, which was kinda cool.

I've had a bar tab picked up by Vanilla Ice.

Here is an incomplete list of some the odd places I do / have worked at-

Buckeye TV (Programming Director) - Ohio State Student Television
NPR 820AM in Columbus
UWeekly (Newspaper in Columbus)

My favorite band is the Foo Fighters - I think Dave Grohl is a fine example of the modern renaissance man (or maybe I'm just jealous that he can play drums WAY better than me AND rock guitar while singing to boot).

Newsvine Notables:

  • Disproving the 'Red Hot Chili Peppers are Plagiarists' Nonsense
  • Relay for Life (for which my final Vinacity bud came from)
  • An interview with
