Richie McGinniss is a former video director, semi-nonprofessional small wave surfer, and men’s league hockey scrapper. He graduated from Georgetown University without honors, majoring in Middle Eastern History and minoring in Arabic and Philosophy. McGinniss studied abroad in Amman, Jordan and traveled to Egypt's Tahrir Square in the months before the Arab Spring. He started his career in media with an internship at Al-Jazeera Arabic, at MSNBC/NBC News DC as a production assistant, then a freelance videographer and bartender—emphasis on the latter—before landing a job as a video editor for Conservative Radio Host Mark Levin’s new all-online show LevinTV.

RIOT DIET by Richie McGinniss
“Working in a pickle is all I knew my whole life—in the middle between an older and younger brother, as a DC-media professional working on both sides of an increasingly hardened left and right, behind the bar between drunkards and the booze they wanted me to serve, testifying in the internationally prominent homicide trial that pitted my objective observations against the prosecution and defense, and as a video guy placing myself between the rioters/demonstrators and the cops. If you have a helmet that is accessible, I would advise you put it on before reading further. If not, proceed at your own peril.”
