Dardenne Prairie Man Shoots, Kills Intruder from St. Charles
A deadly home invasion on Wednesday night wound up with the homeowner shooting and killing an intruder.

As one of two associate regional editors with St. Louis Patch, I oversee seven sites -- Florissant, Hazelwood, Maryland Heights, St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon and Wentzville.
I'm a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues. I thoroughly enjoy anywhere I can get a craft beer -- Schlafly is my favorite! -- and listen to live music. I also spend way too much time agonizing over my fantasy baseball and football teams. Once, I thought Netflix was a dumb idea. Then I got it and immediately realized how awesome it is. I now regularly watch TV shows in bulk.
I live in Chesterfield with my wife, Alexis, and our dog Mowgli.
