About

I am a passionate sports editor with an eye beyond the game. While sports was not my first love in the news industry, I have over a decade of experience covering sports in classifications from 1A to 6A — from football and basketball to wrestling and golf. When covering sports, a key aspect of the job is getting to know who you are working with, and those relationships often reveal that there is more to the athlete or coach than what is seen on the court or field. My passion is getting to know the people and stories behind the sport and giving readers the opportunity to understand who is really out there for the game.
