Dec 2003 - Dec 2013
I'm a problem solver, a go-getter, a leader, a competitor, a motivator. I'm the award winning 11pm producer for Buffalo's top-rated late-night newscast. Each night I craft an informative, fast-paced show driven by my desire to give viewers the news they need and want as they're ending their day. I lead a night team of dedicated professionals... reporters, anchors, editors and photojournalists... who are committed to delivering the best coverage of Western New York every day.
