About me: Originally from Texas, I have spent most of my life in Alabama, but recently moved to Charlotte, NC. I have a keen interest in motorsports, which makes the Carolinas a great place to live. I have a decade of journalism experience graduating from the University of Southern Alabama with Honors in Journalism with a double major in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. I spent about five years of my career in front of a news camera, but I spent years in the print media and even won a few cool awards like an Edward R. Murrow award along the way. I love to cover stories in education, health, government and most of all, stories that directly help people and improve their lives in one way or another. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner Matt and our two cats, Kenly and Gotenks, going to new restaurants, and hanging out on racetracks.
