I'm a lifelong Chicagoan with a fervent passion for journalism and its 21st century home on the Internet. I've spent the past five years working as a senior producer/editor and Chicago bureau chief for a college news and sports network.

I received my journalism education and training at Northwestern University. At Northwestern I worked as an executive, anchor and analyst with the Northwestern News Network. 

I'm a diehard football fan who likes seeing the 'Cats win on Saturdays and Da Bears win on Sundays.
