About

I am the News Director for WVLT-TV in Knoxville, Tenn. I began here September 2023. This is the latest opportunity in my 20 years as a journalist. Before WVLT I was news director at WTWO in Terre Haute, Ind., a position I began in December 2018 after spending five years as an assignment manager and assistant news director at WJHL-TV in Johnson City, Tenn. and nine years before that as a newspaper journalist. I am happy to help you find your first job in journalism, whether you have studied print, web, radio, TV or want a chance to tell a good story. I have helped many journalists, producers, photographers and web producers get the experience they need to achieve their goals. I also enjoy helping experienced journalists reach their goals through mentoring and direct hands-on feedback. Reach out if you'd like to connect!
