I am a native of Augusta, Ill., who now lives in Louisiana, Mo. My degree in journalism was earned in 1985 from Culver-Stockton College in Canton. Positions I have held include reporter at The Quincy Herald-Whig, assignment editor at KHQA TV and public relations officer at the North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC). I have covered floods, fires, governments, crime, schools, festivals and even a visit to the region by President Obama, but I prefer stories about area residents who have beaten the odds or done something inspirational. I am a huge history buff (Ask me about Champ Clark, John Brooks Henderson or Abe Lincoln’s visit to Augusta), love Cardinals baseball, Blues hockey and Rams football, and enjoy every second spent with my son. I am a good listener, try to keep an eye out for the uncommon and strive unequivocally for accuracy..
