What I Do
I thrive on beat reporting and its power to propel stories beyond the news of the day. The best daily stories often plant the seeds for deeper reporting with lasting impact.
While not every assignment becomes an investigation, I approach each one with curiosity, persistence and a commitment to helping readers understand the issues that shape their communities.
The stories on this page span statehouses, county courthouses, national political conventions, homeless camps and public lands occupied by armed protesters.
Together, this work reflects the range of reporting that has shaped my career.
