About Me

I'm an Arkansas-based journalist with experience writing and editing for daily newspapers and monthly magazines as well as podcasting, photography and videography.

My main focus has been on covering religion and politics, especially as it concerns China and the Middle East.

I am FAA-certified to fly a drone for commercial uses. I'm interested in learning more about television and radio broadcasting, analog media equipment and improving my current skillset. I hope to one day create a documentary of my own and dream about being the publisher/editor of a small-town newspaper. I also have some non-journalism media credits to my name.
