RECOGNITIONS: I was recently named among the top multimedia photojournalists in the National Press Photographers Association's international Best of Photojournalism contest for my portfolio of video work (March, 2016). I was also named Ohio Photographer of the Year for my still photography (April, 2016). Since 2013, I've received five Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Ohio Valley Chapter, which covers four states. Whether it's a daily turn or a months-long project, I'm in constant search for the surprising or underexposed. I get special satisfaction in producing pieces on weighty topics, but also like exploring what makes this world bizarre, comical and beautiful. From Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, immigration in Mexico, to my own Midwestern backyard, with every story I do, I learn a little more about our world.

Currently I'm the Senior City Editor of 6AM City's LOUtoday market. I write daily articles, newsletters, and curate content for the LOUtoday social media accounts. See the Instagram. Previously I was the Marketing & Communications Director of Against the Grain Brewery. During my six year tenure, I led an award-winning launch campaign for A Beer with Pabst Brewing Co., spoke at the United Nations, developed a concert series, and produced a charitable-driven podcast. Outside of formal roles, I've stretched my legs as a professional wrestling manager and carried a karaoke team to champion status. All the time I love classic rock guitar solos (listen: "Ride On" by AC/DC), William Faulkner novels, hiking and camping, and I never miss an episode of "Criminal."
