Speed was born fast - thus the name. At Yale, Speed spent no time in the library and oodles of time writing, directing, and acting for the theater. He answered an ad in the Yale Daily News and began a teaching job at the American School of Tangier in Morocco. He then took a position for the White House, advancing President Clinton on trips across the U.S. and to other countries, including Botswana and China.
After a year of seclusion to work on his plays, and fiction, Speed launched a freelance magazine career that supported his passion for fiction and theater. Celebrated for his strong voice, humor, and clarity on matters scientific, his writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Playboy, GQ, National Geographic, Popular Science, Adventure, Salon, and dozens more national publications. He has been included twice in the prestigious annual anthology, The Best American Science, and Nature Writing, a top honor in the field. Following his career in science writing, Speed found his true passion, television writing, starting in 2006 on SAVED on TNT. Since then, he's had a fruitful career clocking over 200 hours on many shows, including 100 hours as a Co-EP.
