A graduate of Wenatchee High School, I moved to Spokane in 1990 and worked as a producer and editor of the KXLY 920 Morning News over 18 years. The field of Information Technology piqued my interest, and I left broadcasting to work I-T for various businesses. I decided to return to broadcast journalism and work as a broadcaster and content creator for Townsquare Media - Newsradio 560 KPQ and now Newsradio 610 KONA. I have three beautiful children who’ve grown to be amazing young women. I like to spend my time enjoying the great outdoors, disc golfing, fishing, hiking, and camping.
