Regional Editor, Appalachian News-Express

Pikeville

Biography

I began in community journalism with a position as the Pikeville Bureau Chief for the Williamson Daily News in 1999, before moving to my current home at the Appalachian News-Express in 2000. After stints both inside and outside the news business, I returned to the News-Express as a staff writer in 2007 and was named editor in November, 2011. Just a month later, I also became editor of a new weekly edition called the Mingo Messenger, which serves Mingo County, W.Va. I currently edit both newspapers and report on several topics for the News-Express.
