First of all, thanks for showing an interest in FOX6 and learning more about me.

I've worked on a lot of different shows and shifts since arriving at the station in 2006, I'm currently the Weekend Anchor. I grew up in a small town in southern Ohio, called Jackson. Everybody knew everybody, we listened to a lot of country music, and I still love the Jackson County Apple Festival! I then wanted to spread my wings, and so I went to college at the University of Miami in Florida. Go Canes! I majored in Broadcast Journalism and Criminology. What a great experience, being exposed to so many different people and cultures. During school I worked at Starbucks, which is where my fondness for coffee began.

My first job in TV was in Pocatello, ID. Another great experience, but I was glad to move to Boise a few years later. Boise is a great town, if you've never been, I highly recommend it.

A few years later, I got a job here in Milwaukee at what was the WB 18. Now I'm at FOX6 and enjoying my new hometown. I have two kids, Neenah and Jordan. We have quite a full house, with two cats (Kikimonga and Double Trouble) and a dog (Annabelle).

Some of my favorites: TV show: American Idol Food: Cheesecake and Chinese food Music: Lots of it... Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Mayer, John Mellencamp and throw in some Jazz and Country, too Movie: Beautiful Girls Hobby: Cooking Beverage: Coffee and just about any red wine (but not together)
