I am Patch's regional managing editor for Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. I have been a journalist my whole working life, beginning with reporting jobs at newspapers in Florida and later with editing jobs in Ohio and Connecticut. This is my second stint at Patch: the first ran from 2010 to 2013 and the second began in August 2018. A St. Louis native, I will be a Cardinal fan to my dying day.
