A reporter and producer, Reinstein has been with Chronicle since 1995. Prior to that, and also with WCVB, he was a correspondent for the Good Day! show, and the host and producer of Discover New England, a monthly journal of life in New England.

In 1995, he hosted the premiere season of the Discovery channel's Popular Mechanics Show. Out of the studio, he has explored Hawaii's volcanoes, the caves of Puerto Rico and the islands of Tahiti as host for the Travel Channel's photo/adventure series, FreezeFrame.

Before joining WCVB, Reinstein was an actor for 10 years on stages in Boston, New York, and Chicago. He performed in "American Buffalo," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?," and in Boston theater award-winning productions of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" (1994) and David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" (1996).

Reinstein appeared in both the Boston and Chicago companies of America's longest-running non-musical, "Shear Madness," and is co-author of the play, "Yom Kippur in Da Nang," which premiered in Boston in 1992 and has had subsequent productions in Ohio and Washington, D.C.

A native of the Boston suburb of Winthrop, Mass., Reinstein received his bachelor's and master's degrees in fine arts from Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. He served as a "Big Brother" in his high school and college years.

Reinstein is an avid skier and hiker, and enjoys photography and political cartooning. He resides in the Boston area.
