Photo: Me and my brother at Eden Roc

I hail from Beverly Hills like my parents did before me. I have a brother, half-sister, two ex-step-sisters, a step-brother and a half-sister and lots of step parents. I use to have a miniature pony named Mahalo when I was 12 and two Lhalso Apsos named Butterscotch and Carmel. I have gone to Buckley, John Thomas Dye, Westlake, Harvard-Westlake, Beverly and boarding schools in Switzerland (Le Rosey) and Vermont (Putney).

As a child, my brother and I were very close … We built dunk tanks, paint-balled our neighbors, made up games like “balloon ball” and “water-bed football”. We establish highly organized karate leagues and pillow fighting associations, just for the two of us, and documented all our tournaments on video. We put out a weekly newspaper, “The Pinesong Post”, named after our house, which regaled our parents with our activities.

My mother is a mini-super-model, my father is a brilliant businessman. Some of our friends growing had arcades in their homes, some had parents in jail, some had mogul parents, and many have contributed in some way to the lifestyle and culture we see in LA today. I started The Daily Truffle to talk about these these things that are common knowledge to most of us, but no one ever thinks to say. For those of you who will never care about or get this kind of stuff, you’re in luck because we veer off-topic a lot.
