Hi

Most of my work online is done as internet editor and media coordinator for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA. But I'm also involved in projects related to Biblical Archaeology and work with several professional journalism organizations. More on that later.

INTERVARSITY

Here are some of my favorite stories among those that I've worked on in the last few years at InterVarsity:

  • Ho'olohe Pono
  • Intelligent Design & InterVarsity
  • C.S. Lewis & InterVarsity
  • David Howard & Jim Elliot
  • The CBS Grocery Barge
  • John Mein
  • Teaching for America
  • Astronaut Rex Walheim
  • Urbana 06 Preview for Lausanne World Pulse, December 2006
  • Missions story for Lausanne World Pulse
  • Ken Anderson testimony for Decision magazine, November 2007
  • Human Genome Project Director Francis Collins at Stanford
  • Professor and author Anne C. Bailey
  • Nashville singer/songwriter Julie Lee
  • Anglican Bishop N.T. Wright at Harvard
  • Urbana article for YouthWorker Journal, July, 2009
  • New York pastor Tim Keller

    Part of my work in media relations is as a public spokesman for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA.
    Sometimes I get in the news in other roles.

    Recently I've been experimenting with video production:
    ABRAHAM LINCOLN AT CAMP RANDALL - summer 2009
    ART & DRAMA IN EVERYDAY LIFE - autumn 2009
    REMEMBERING MARTIN LUTHER KING JR - winter 2010

    My other professional activities center around archaeology and journalism.

    ARCHAEOLOGY

Have also reported on archaeology for On Air with Kim Jeffries on the SkyLight Radio Network, and for Primetime America on the Moody Radio Network. Secretary of the Madison Biblical Archaeology Society, board member for the Institute for Biblical Archaeology, editor of ARTIFAX magazine and producer/host for The Book & The Spade weekly radio program and podcast.

    I have been a columnist and correspondent for THE CAPITAL TIMES newspaper, starting in 1988. I've also written for other publications, including Decision magazine and Radio World.

    I am a 38-year radio news veteran, reporting news at WNWC , in Madison WI;  KLMS in Lincoln, NE; WISM in Madison WI; WYFE in Rockford IL; WOSH in Oshkosh WI, and WPRE in Prairie du Chien WI. I made my radio debut in February of 1961, and actually found gainful employement in broadcasting ten years later, in June of 1971.
