I started out with Patch doing listings in 2010. When the Patches started going live, I began freelancing writing for Maplewood-Brentwood. My main gig was covering Maplewood Richmond Heights sports. I also took charge of the Blue Devils Facebook page.

I'm now happy to be the Maplewood-Brentwood editor.

I'm a Michigan State Spartan, and was there to witness the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird NCAA season.

I've been in St. Louis since the 80s. For the Associated Press, I covered a couple seasons of the Cards, the football Cardinals and the Blues.

I love the cooperative effort Patch staffers and community members contribute to make Patch what it is.
