Beats

Biography

Reporter with The Gazette in Cedar Rapids. I cover state transportation and energy, as well as Linn County government. Pasts beats have included cops, courts, business, city government and just about everything else. Past jobs have included The Daily Iowan, Associated Press and Iowa City Press-Citizen. The biggest compliment I've ever received in journalism was, "You crank out a lot of copy and it isn't total sh*t."
