Bio
I'm a native of the People's Republic of Boulder, which means I'm one of the few people in this state who roots for Colorado rather than the Huskers on Saturdays in the fall. It drives Rob and most of my friends nuts, although I also root for Wyoming on Saturdays as well because of my five years in Torrington and the fact my wife Tracy graduated from the University of Wyoming. But after twenty five years here in Scottsbluff, It's nice to come back home when we spent a few days in the traffic and the fast pace of Denver . 
    News director at KNEB since 1984, I've covered virtually everything one would cover in a bigger community, including several high profile murder trials and the explosion at the Western Sugar factory. Most people said there wouldn't be much to cover when I got here in 1984, but most days there is more than enough to do. Since 1984 I've watched the station grow and move from a metal building to a state of the art facility in Scottsbluff. We've also watched our website grow, much of it due to the news page , which now also includes more ag news and sports.       Simply looking forward to continue supplying the valley with the best in news, both on the radio and one the website.
