I was born and raised in eastern Pennsylvania before earning my journalism degree at Penn State University.
I recently moved to Minnesota after working for several years in Illinois as the editor of a weekly newspaper and for Patch. I look forward to telling and sharing your stories, and keeping you informed during these unprecedented times and beyond.
If you've got a story, I want to hear it. You can reach me any time at jason.addy@patch.com.
