I've been in radio since 1988. During the first five years I worked mostly as a DJ playing alternative rock, country and pop music. After an eye opening internship at C-SPAN in Washington, DC I started working as a news anchor and reporter for several radio stations and networks around the country. Today I work in the Miami Herald's radio department, which was created in 2003 to provide local news for NPR station WLRN.

Heard nationwide on CBS Radio News and the Westwood One program America In The Morning reporting stories from South Florida. Starting in March 2000 I covered several big stories, including the Elian Gonzalez dispute, the 2000 Presidential election recount, the anthrax attack at a tabloid publisher and Florida's connection to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Reporter and anchor for two years, starting in March 1998 for WIOD, Miami's top English speaking news station. I covered several high-profile stories, including the Elian Gonzalez custody fight and the trial that resulted from the 1996 Valujet crash into the Florida Everglades.

Anchor of traffic reports for radio and TV stations. I started in March 1997 at the Richmond, Virginia office, working as morning producer and midday traffic anchor. That September I transferred to the Miami office, where in addition to traffic, I also anchored newscasts.

Afternoon drive news anchor starting in January 1997 for the Virginia News Network, heard across the state on 55 affiliate stations. I was also the Friday evening anchor for WRVA, Newsradio 1140, Richmond's top-rated news station.
 

Free-lance writer and photographer preparing hard news and feature articles for this bi-weekly newspaper. I wrote two cover stories, as well as CD, concert and book reviews.
 

As part of an independent study class in 1995 I hosted an award winning weekly half-hour interview program on this public radio station. I also became fill-in morning anchor for the NPR station, doing local newscasts during Morning Edition. I also filled in hosting jazz programs.
 

Starting in May 1993 I worked as a news anchor and reporter for Little Rock's top news station and the Arkansas Radio Network, with 65 affiliates statewide. Here I learned how to put newscasts together, report hard news, cover stories in the field and I started filing for CBS.

Interned five months in 1993 in Washington, DC helping to produce the weekly public radio program "C-SPAN's Weekly Radio Journal." It proved to be an invaluable learning experience that redirected me toward news.

Worked overnights, starting in October 1991, at this powerful, hard-edged pop station in the college town of Jonesboro, Arkansas. But the first steps of deregulation led to a new owner and gave me a preview of what was to come with radio consolidation.
 

Even though it was another small town station, K-105 was very professionally run, carefully programmed and actively involved in its community. I was evening DJ for this adult contemporary station in Paragould, Arkansas, starting in October 1990.

DJ at this AM-FM country music station in England, Arkansas. I started part-time in August 1989, working my way up to full-time evening personality.

My first real radio job in 1989 playing country music at this small town station in Benton, Arkansas. But financial troubles at KBBA gave me a harsh introduction to this business.

Volunteer host of a weekly alternative rock program from 1988 to 1995 on this powerful community radio station in Little Rock, Arkansas. The station kind of spoiled me because I've never since had that kind of freedom to play what I wanted and have friends on the air with me.
