There is no other way to put it, Madison was a great place to live and work. But after three years in Wisconsin's capital city, it was time to move on. Oddly enough, my next step turned out to be another capital city; this one belonging to my home state. 

In August of 2010, I accepted a reporter/fill-in anchor position at WHP in Harrisburg. CBS-21 affords me near endless opportunities to hone my craft. With Pennsylvania being the fifth most populous state, and with Harrisburg being the capital, there is no shortage of great news. Plus, the Harrisburg DMA is the 39th largest in the nation - meaning this top 40 market provides a wide range of mobility.

After more than a year in Harrisburg, I find myself learning a tremendous amount. Every Monday, when I arrive at the station, I feel I'm better than the week prior. In a business where change is a constant, improvement is one variable I intend to keep. I have provided some examples of my work below.
