Professional

I’ve been fortunate enough to cover almost everything — from high school sports to the NFL and Major League Baseball. That versatility extends not just from what I cover but to the types of stories I can write. I’ve won awards for feature writing, can turn around gamers on a tight deadline and consistently break news on my beats, which primarily were college football and basketball along with Class A minor league baseball in the summer.

In addition to print experience, I’ve spent a season and a half as director of media relations for a Class A baseball team including half a season as broadcaster. I also branched out as the co-host and producer of the Journal Star’s weekly online baseball show “Play Ball” in conjunction with my coverage of the Peoria Chiefs.

I’m still available for freelance work if you need something covered in central Illinois.
