I was born in Virginia and have moved several times in my life as a member of an Air Force family. I've lived in Virginia, California, Germany, England, and Ohio. I graduated from Centerville High School and then went on to attend Ball State University where I graduated with a bachelor's degree. After college I got a job at WLIO-TV up in Lima, Ohio where I spent nearly three years covering sports at the station. I then got a job back in Dayton as a sports reporter and anchor. After more than five years covering sports in the Miami Valley I'm happy to be back in television working at WHIO. I've been lucky enough to cover some amazing stories in my time in TV when I'm not working I'm likely watching sports, planning my next trip, or enjoying one of my favorite restaurants.
