Before entering political media, O’Connor had a successful career in theater, serving as general manager of the Shubert Theatre in Los Angeles, where he worked on major Broadway productions, including the American premiere of Sunset Boulevard starring Glenn Close.
A Michigan native, with deep roots in Southern California, O’Connor lives in Maryland with his wife, Meredith, and intermittently their four adult children: Quinn, who is pursuing a master’s degree in theatre management at Yale Drama School; Veronica, a U.S. Navy officer married to a Marine Corps officer; Christian, who is beginning his senior year at UC San Diego; and EJ, their 19-year-old special needs superstar.
