About

I am a sports reporter at The Charlotte Observer. I hold the NASCAR beat, regularly writing stories ranging from features about how racing intersects with life to lap-by-lap updates for the publication in NASCAR's hometown. I also consistently perform on-camera standups and help lead the sports department's video and social media presence.
