About

I am a Reporter and backup Anchor at Boston 25. I've been lucky enough to cover some great stories across New England and around the world. Some of them have even won me a few New England Emmys. Recently, my focus is Crime Reporting. I launched New England's Unsolved more than ten years ago. The success of that franchise has helped launch our Mass Most Wanted segment which is seen on Saturday nights. In 2017 we launched the New Englands Unsolved Podcast which is based on my stories and investigations over the years. The New Englands Unsolved Podcast is the recipient of the 2018 Regional Edward R Murrow Award for Excellence in Innovation. My work has been recognized by many community organizations, most notably the Massachusetts State Police and the FBI. In 2011, I received the Massachusetts State Police Superintendent's Commendation Award. MSP Colonel Marian McGovern said my reporting has resulted in the arrest of more than 100 dangerous fugitives and criminals. She added this was the first time the Massachusetts State Police have ever honored a member of the news media in this way. In 2009/10, I was honored to receive the FBI's Director's Community Leadership Award. I was told several of my stories were instrumental in breaking some tough federal cases, and this award was presented to me at FBI HQ in Washington, DC as recognition for making my community a safer place. I have extensive live experience in the field, and on the News Anchor desk where I frequently fill-in. I also serve on the Board of Director's for Boston's Garden of Peace, a memorial for victims of homicide. The Garden is located at 100 Cambridge Street on Beacon Hill, not far from the Massachusetts State House. Specialties: Writing for broadcast and the internet, live reporting skills, professional, credible on air presence.
