I was catching up with an old friend who started bragging about planning an elaborate Greek vacation. I was so proud of this small town bumpkin who’d never left the country until I found out they had knocked off the idea from the Kardashians. - Insert eye roll. - However, they gave ME the best idea EVER: a website for fans of reality TV shows to find places they’ve seen on their favorite shows.
For two years my friend and I poured our hearts, souls (and wallets!) into the design and development of Taste of Reality. Less than a year after launch, we have an enormous database of thousands of filming locations that have caught the attention of network producers and fans alike.
The original site told fans what location or business appeared on what show, in which season and episode, in addition to giving them a witty reminder of what happened there. Today, Taste of Reality evolved beyond the locations to include fun lists, gossip, fashion, curated tours with a comedic twist, and even a successful podcast hosted by yours truly.
In addition to being a familiar face on the site, I serve as the chief creative officer, leading a team of writers, designers, and social gurus to produce original content in multiple formats, garnering hundreds of thousands of impressions and page views every month.
