- Iowa City, IA
This New Hampshirite migrated west to Olympia, Washington, south to Florida and wound up in the middle in Iowa. I studied journalism and political science at University of Iowa, and have worked professionally as a journalist covering higher education, city government and business. Investigative projects, covering RAGBRAI as an embedded reporter and paddling down the Iowa River for three days to report on its condition are some of my favorite assignments. I have many different interests: spending time with my family, hiking, biking, paddling, cooking, craft beers, writing, college and pro sports. I used to work as a professional chef, I've traveled to 49 of the 50 states, teach a backpacking course at the University of Iowa, and volunteer on the Board of Directors for the Bicyclists of Iowa City.
