Who I am
I'm an enterprise and investigative journalist in Washington with a record of breaking big stories.
My specialty is government investigative pieces, uncovering scoops from a wealth of sources, data tools and my own natural curiousity.
I write news copy, videotape and edit pieces for television, turn radio spots and publish news online.
I also have experience running a newsroom, coaching other journalists to find and tell great stories.
Today I work as a senior producer in a multiplatform Washington broadcast news bureau, coordinating daily news coverage for Cox Media Group television and radio stations from the nation's capital. I also report my own investigative stories from the White House, Capitol, courts and federal agencies.
When offline I like to travel around the world, run and bike long distances and cook for family and friends.
