Hi everyone, I'm Dave. I'll be covering local news in Bolingbrook, Plainfield, Oswego and Romeoville. I've previously done some reporting in Chicago, South Dakota and Japan, and I'm excited to get to know your communities as well!
When not on the clock, I enjoy video games, archery and brewing. I also busk when time (and the law) allows, because life's too short to wait for open-mic nights.
I'll be setting up a Twitter page for myself in the coming days, but in the meantime you can hit me up at dave.byrnes@patch.com with any tips, leads, concerns or good beer recipes you might have.
