On air
The anchor desk isn't a stage. It's a promise — that when the day gets hard, someone steady will sit with you and tell you the truth.
Now
These days you'll find me at the anchor desk for News4 at 5 and 11 on NBC4 Washington. Two broadcasts, one promise: when you invite me into your evening, I owe you the truth, told plainly and told with care.
Washington has been my newsroom for nearly three decades. I've covered this city's hardest mornings and its proudest ones, and the work has never stopped feeling personal — because the people watching aren't an audience to me. They're neighbors.
Anchoring, to me, is a kind of stewardship. The story belongs to the people living it; my job is to carry it carefully from their front door to yours.
The reel
A look at the desk, the field, and the stories in between. The reel is on its way — this is its seat.
Notable work
An investigation into asbestos exposure at the National Institutes of Health — the kind of accountability reporting that reminds you why this job exists. It was recognized with an Edward R. Murrow Award, but the real result was simpler: people were told the truth about the air they were breathing.
My second day on the air in Washington was September 11, 2001. There's no training for a morning like that — you steady your voice and stay with your neighbors while the world tilts. Everything I believe about this work was set that day.
Twenty years at Fox 5, and since 2021 the anchor desk at NBC4. Elections and blizzards, verdicts and championships, quiet acts of neighborly good — the running story of a city I love, told one broadcast at a time.
Recognition
For excellence in broadcast journalism — recognition I share with every producer, photographer, and editor who ever made the desk look easy.
For the NIH asbestos investigation. Murrow believed the news should serve the people it covers; this one is dear to me because that's exactly what the story did.
Awards are lovely. But the honor underneath them is the same one every journalist works for: being trusted in someone's living room, night after night.
The anchor desk is one of three places I tell stories — the foundation table and the canvas are the others. It's all the same work: telling the story until someone is moved to do something with it.
