About

I've had the privilege of learning about my hometown through 40 years of local journalism, starting in radio then moving to print with the Cincinnati Business Courier and into television with E.W. Scripps Co. This gave me a chance to interview more than 20 CEOs of Fortune 1000 companies and weigh in on some of the most important issues facing our region, including riverfront development, economic inclusion, transportation needs and government corruption. Cincinnati may not be a perfect town but it's never boring and will always rise to a challenge.
