I'm a general assignment reporter with WXIA-TV / WATL-TV / 11Alive.com.
Before making Atlanta my home, I was a reporter, producer and news editor with WTLV-TV in Jacksonville, FL.
I went to work at WTLV after graduating from the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications, where I reported for the Independent Florida Alligator, WRUF-AM, and WTLV-TV.
I was born in Fargo, ND. I moved with my family to Melbourne Beach, FL when I was a teenager.
And Atlanta's been my home since 1980!
I'd love to hear from you.
