Journalist in Washington

Journalism type. Current: Northwest Public Broadcasting (NPR / PBS). Past: @spj_tweets education director / Quill mag editor

Often found reporting and engaging in acts of journalism. Too many interests, of course, but some: journalism/media industry geek, public media evangelist, often found trail running / hiking /backpacking /camping /mountain biking in the great Pacific Northwest (and beyond). For some strange reason I think training for and running in marathons is a good idea.
