Emmy & Murrow Winning News Video Editor
With more than years of experience in broadcast journalism, I serve as Senior Editor at the NBC affiliate in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I thrive in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of live news.
Throughout my career, I've worn many hats—from photojournalist and satellite truck operator to editor and live production specialist—covering everything from local community stories and NCAA athletics to nationally significant breaking news. I solve operational, technical, and leadership challenges for television news organizations, helping teams adapt to evolving technologies, improve workflows, and deliver accurate, compelling content under demanding deadlines. I enjoy finding practical solutions that improve newsroom workflows, support evolving broadcast technologies, and help teams operate more efficiently. I believe the strongest news organizations are built on both technical excellence and great storytelling.
I'm equally passionate about developing future media professionals. Through educational outreach and nonprofit leadership, I've had the opportunity to mentor students, support aspiring journalists, and contribute to organizations that strengthen our community. Helping others grow professionally is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.
