What I Do

As senior editor of Mississippi Today, I oversee the Jackson team and will collaborate with other editors on major projects. I will also help in mentoring Mississippi Today’s early-career journalists.

My Background

I grew up on dairy farm on the other side of the mountains from Waikiki. I have worked for newsrooms across the country, including a stint at The Associated Press coordinating major news events around the world. Earlier in my AP career, he covered state government and politics in Florida and Montana and worked as a general assignment reporter in New York. I earned a bachelor's degree in legal studies from the University of California, Berkeley.

I avoid conflicts of interest and decline gifts, money, or favors from those connected to my work. I aim to produce journalism that serves the public good, reflects the truth, and honors the lived experience of Mississippians.
