General ManagerAs the GM, I'm responsible for the management and leadership of Boise State Public Radio, so I get to work across departments with our great staff here.
Lately we've been expanding our journalism and digital offerings, which I hope you've noticed across our online platforms. You know what else has been fun? Launching the Mountain West News Bureau and Idaho Matters a few years ago. You can sample those from the drop-down menus above.
Going back a bit, I founded a public radio network in West Texas. Personally, I like outdoor Idaho activities and my family time – even though we got an extra dose of that during the pandemic. Please reach out if you have any questions for us.
