Biography
I am the former sports editor for The Sentinel-Record in Hot Springs, and I have moved back into the main newsroom for the first time in six years. I served as the editor for The Siftings Herald in Arkadelphia, the Prescott (Ark.) Picayune-Times, the Gurdon (Ark.) Times and the Hope (Ark.) Star. I started my journalistic career at the Malvern (Ark.) Daily Record covering courts and crime before moving to sports, which is where I have spent the majority of my career. I look to continue to hone my craft in the main newsroom, taking a break from the always exciting world of sports, but I imagine that I'll still cover some sports.

Company Info
The Sentinel-Record
The Sentinel-Record, your hometown newspaper, is a family-owned business. The Sentinel-Record and Hot Springs New Era were purchased in 1929 by Clyde Eber Palmer from John A. Riggs. Riggs founded the New Era, a combination of the Daily Bulletin, which began in the 1890s and which he acquired in 1911, and the Daily News, which he later absorbed. John H. Higgins created The Record in 1899.
