About

I am currently a senior editor for Fox News, focusing on breaking news and media content. I formerly worked at the Washington Free Beacon for eight years as a video editor, senior editor, reporter, and media analyst. I did freelance sports reporting for the Washington Post as well in 2012 and 2013, covering high school football and the high school track and field scene for the area. I was hired in October of 2010 by Neighbor Newspapers to be the sports editor of the Northside Neighbor, focusing coverage on the Northside and Sandy Springs areas of Metro Atlanta. The area includes 12 prep schools. I worked there until 2012. I began working in sports journalism in the fall of 2007 covering Vanderbilt athletics. I filed hundreds of stories, features and columns on Commodore sports. I was the sports editor of The Vanderbilt Hustler, Vanderbilt University's student newspaper, where I managed a staff and was in charge of all content for the print and online editions of the newspaper. Before this, I was an assistant editor and reporter. Two other reporters and I started a radio show called "3D Sports" in 2009 on WRVU 91.1 FM, the campus station, which discussed everything happening in Vanderbilt sports. I was brought on as a freelance writer for The Tennessean, Nashville's major newspaper, and covered the Vanderbilt football team in the fall of 2008, writing a notebook on storylines concerning the Commodores every week during the season.
