Experience
I was born in Portland, Oregon. My family moved to Chehalis, Washington when I was 8 years old, and I'm a proud graduate of Washington State University's Edward R Murrow College of Communication. I spent the majority of my career in front of the camera as a television news anchor and reporter mostly in Idaho, with stints in Lincoln, Nebraska and Tampa, Florida. I was lucky enough to help launch Idaho Matters in 2018, and it has been my dream job. I often tell people: it only took me 25 years in this crazy business to fall into the job I was meant to do.
