Biography
I am a seasoned, aggressive anchor/reporter in the news biz for over 20 years in several states. It’s the greatest and the most challenging profession in my opinion but the most rewarding. An honor to tell the stories of our time. I love history and politics. I grew up in Boston so yes I cherish this nation’s rich history.
