Fifth generation Wisconsin resident, born and raised in the historically rich and geologically famous Wisconsin Driftless Region.
Writer and journalist: passionate about history and the Bible (hence Biblical Archaeology), as well as getting outdoors for photography, hiking, and cycling.
Early news jobs included bicycling before dawn around historic Prairie du Chien to deliver the daily Milwaukee Journal,
reporting on high school sports for the local weekly newspaper, and radio announcer at hometown station WPRE.
I became a journalist because I had broad interests and a deep curiosity. Whether covering and reporting radio news or writing
online profiles, my priority has always been serving people with information that is interesting, important, and useful.
Trained in journalism at the University of Wisconsin, now based in the Madison suburb of Fitchburg.

Following a career as a radio news reporter and news director I continue to write, report, and edit for a variety of venues.
One place where you can find my stories is Our Wisconsin magazine:
Workup baseball,
Weather Wizards,
an ambitious bike ride ,
Sonny Tiedemann and
Oleo Smuggling.
Christianity Today has been publishing
my biblical archaeology news reports for more than three decades.
The latest are about
an influential Jewish archaeologist and the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Museum of the Bible.
In 2020 I had articles in the December print issues of both Christianity Today and Radio World magazines. Interestingly,
a few years earlier I had articles in simultaneous issues of On Wisconsin (Winter 2015) and Our Wisconsin (December/January 2016).
Most of my work online recently was done as internet editor and media coordinator for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA.
My current position is grant writer for the
International Fellowship of Evangelical Students/USA.
I reported on the Urbana 22 Student Missions Conference for our IFES Praise and Prayer publication.
I write and report on Biblical Archaeology and have volunteered with several professional journalism organizations.
