In the past I have worked and/or interned at stations in Alabama (WSFA), Kentucky (WKAG, WBKO), and Tennessee (WKRN). As you may recall, I worked at KAIT for a couple of years, left for three years, and returned! Region 8 is home!
Outside of the television business, I have worked as a Weather Observer for the Federal Aviation Administration and was a Meteorology Lab Instructor at WKU. One of my career highlights was being awarded "Best Weathercast" by the Arkansas Associated Press in 2002. I'm guessing the judges must have just skimmed through the tapes that year! I also worked for my Dad's plumbing company for a few years. I probably learned more about life at that job than anywhere else! Plus, working with Dad was great!
I'm a believer of Jesus, a husband to a gorgeous wife, and the father of two boys and two girls. I'm a big fan of football and NASCAR. Each year, I try to attend a Titans game and each year I go with a group of guys to Talladega.
