Biography

My media adventure has taken me from D.C. reporter to CNN anchor in Atlanta, to a professor at a Christian university in San Diego. I teach writing, journalism, and emerging media production, encouraging students to embrace the digital changes of the 21st Century and to honor Christ with their hearts, souls, and minds in their callings.
