Born in LA.
I always thought that would make a good title for my autobiography. Not that I plan on writing one.
I grew up mostly in Southfield, Michigan, which sounds misleadingly bucolic for a suburb of Detroit with more than 27 million square feet of office space.
For ten years, I was a writer of the Vows column at The New York Times, and my first novel, The Wedding Beat, was loosely based on my experience at the Times as a single guy writing about weddings.
You can read some of my articles at the Times here.

“Everything in life is a choice, and I was choosing to be happy.”
