About

I started at a weekly newspaper in Gas City Indiana. I went to a daily in Rochester, Ind. and then to Marion, Ind. After that came Gillette, Wyoming. Now I'm thoroughly enjoying working and living in Rochester, Minnesota. I write the daily column, "Heard Around Rochester" as well articles. Some of my main topics are Mayo Clinic, real estate, biotechnology, IBM, Hormel Corp., medical devices, retail, restaurants, minor league sports and whatever else catches my attention.
