In December 1995, while attending Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, Bellini began writing for the youth-oriented Alt. section of The Arizona Republic. Shortly after getting on board with his home state's largest daily newspaper, he fell into an unexpected role as a regular humor columnist. His popular columms lasted until June 1997 when he left the desert for American University in Washington, DC. There, he studied communication and sociology, and continued writing humor. Bellini also produced and performed with DC's highly-regarded live comedy troupe, Mission: IMPROV-able. Several geographical changes and odd jobs later, Bellini found himself in Atlanta where he joined CNN. In June 2006, he began writing and hosting a CNN.com video podcast called The Gryst.
