BIO
A native of small-town Mendota, Illinois, I apply a determined-never-quit Midwestern work ethic and outgoing, fun-loving personality to everything — my family and friends, my career, my hobbies. I’ve worked at newspapers in La Salle-Peru and Springfield in Illinois and Wichita, Kansas, and Omaha, Nebraska. I’ve won awards for writing, telling stories about events as large as Chicago pro sports and as everyday as Little League baseball. I worked on award-winning visual and sportswriting teams in Kansas and Nebraska, and I managed the Omaha newspaper’s rise from visual journalism afterthought to world-renowned powerhouse. My wife RyAnne and I spend time chasing three mischievous, high-energy dogs, and we enjoy filling our weekends with bike rides, casual rounds of golf and discovering new beers at local craft breweries.
