I was born and raised in Upstate New York in Saratoga Springs, moving to Chicagoland in 2014, and live here with my wife and son.
I've been in the journalism/media business for more than 25 years in a variety of roles including managing editor, executive editor, news editor and sports reporter. You could say hyperlocal news is in my blood, so Patch is a perfect fit.
