The Courier-Journal
Louisville, KY
Ever since I would spread out my hometown newspaper on the living-room carpet and spend the morning reading it, I've dreamed of contributing to the endless stories that make sports great. I loved feeling the power of those stories, and now I love to tell them. In five different cities, from Churchill Downs to Michigan Stadium to The White House, I've been fortunate to live that dream. I can't wait to see what awaits.

Over the years, I've tried to soak up every part of this business, and I've gained experience in all areas. I've been a beat writer. I've been a general assignment reporter. I've done research. I've done freelancing. I've been the lead writer on assignments and the No. 6 writer on assignments.

I value my versatility. I've written stories of all lengths, forms and styles, for all audiences. I'm comfortable with video and with social media. I've contributed to podcasts. I'm ready to stretch the limits of what a sports reporter can do.
