I am the National Editor at Patch.com, where I'm exceedingly grateful to work with talented journalists, sales people and developers committed to a mission of bringing hyper-local news to the masses. And damned if we're not having a blast doing it. I have been in journalism for nearly 30 years, working for The Associated Press, The (Raleigh) News & Observer and The Baltimore Sun.
My assignments have taken me to across the United States and to dozens of countries in Europe and the Middle East. I have covered everything from a dog stuck in a sewer pipe in Durham to a tea party thrown by Queen Elizabeth in London to months-long stretches of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm with Mencken: “As I look back over a misspent life, I find myself more and more convinced that I had more fun doing news reporting than in any other enterprise. It is really the life of kings.”
