Objective

10 years overall experience in national cable news (Fox News Channel), local sports / news TV stations (NBC/FOX/ABC/CBS), and digital, newspaper, radio, & new media companies. True journalism is telling stories with integrity & passion. It's what I do.

In today's day and age, it's more important than ever to have an innovative leader and journalist on your team that is versatile-who has proven experience not only reporting live, writing, shooting/editing, and turning stories under tight deadlines-but who has walked the talk, knowing how to effectively work from wherever, whenever at a news station, from home, or in the middle of nowhere looking for wi-fi at a coffee shop.
