He graduated from SUNY Purchase College's Conservatory of Film in 2001, and immediately began working in the industry--specifically, behind the camera in television at Fox News, doing in-studio audio on shows like <i>Your World with Neil Cavuto</i>, <i>Hannity & Colmes</i>, <i>The Kelly File with Megyn Kelly</i>, <i>Hannity</i>, <i>The Story with Martha MacCallum</i>, <i>The Greg Gutfeld Show</i>, and <i>Kennedy</i>, among others. <p/>It was during this time at his day job that he first wrote his 2018 book <i>Blood in the Streets</i>, as well as <i>Morris PI: The Men from Ice House Four</i>, both as screenplays, in an effort to break out from behind the camera and transcend beyond a technical capacity into cinema. After having no luck getting eyes on these works, and now with two additional ones written--an inner-city gothic horror script and a revenge western screenplay--he decided in 2012 to translate <i>Blood in the Streets</i> and <i>Morris PI</i> into novel form. <p/>In 2011, Mr. Cavuto began using Dion in front of the camera on his show, where Dion acted as a comic relief in order to help promote the new channel the Fox Business Network. He periodically appeared, performing small, self-written comedic vignettes and encouraging viewers to call their television providers to "Demand It" ("It" being FBN). <p/>That same year, he also began his podcasting career, and in 2014 cofounded the <i>Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers</i>, a nostalgic deep-dive into the films that helped shaped his life. He also graduated to contributing weekly to panel segments on <i>Your World</i>, which he still continues to do to this day. <p/>In 2018 he published his first novel, <i>Blood in the Streets</i>, with Post Hill Press, and in 2020 costarred in the John Schneider comedic car chase adventure film, <i>Stand On It!</i>. <p/>Dion currently lives in Westchester, New York, with his wife Helen-Grace; their son Babe, an opinionated Yorkshire Terrier; and their cat Tofu Roberta.
