I am a husband to the amazing Meredith and the father to the three coolest kids on the planet, Taylor, Owen and Charlie. Meredith and I are also expecting our fourth child in November. I anchored the local news for 24 years at CBS stations in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Fort Myers, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida. Recently, I started a video production company. I do public relations work and shoot videos for local businesses, doctors, attorneys and non profit organizations. I love playing and watching sports. I still try to play pick up basketball a couple of days a week and I run just about every day. I have completed 9 marathons and 15+ half marathons. I am a fanatic about the Detroit Red Wings, the Detroit Lions and the Michigan Wolverines. I also enjoy coaching little league soccer, surfing the internet, politics, crossword puzzles, playing the guitar and watching TV. My favorite thing in the world is spending quality time with my family.
