I’m just a boy from backwoods Mississippi trying to find my way up north.
After graduating with a degree in journalism from the University of Mississippi, I got a master’s degree from Columbia University in New York.
Since then, I’ve held several jobs. I was a reporter at the Buffalo Bulletin in Buffalo, Wyoming. I also served as the editor of The Dundalk Eagle and The Avenue News in Eastern Baltimore County, Maryland.
Now, I live in Bergen County, New Jersey, and continue to follow my passion of covering local news.
