About Me

I am a news reporter, I live in Oregon with my wife Bonnie and sons. I grew up in Huntington Park, California until I was 16, when my family moved to Morro Bay. I went to Morro Bay High and then spent three years in the Marines.
By the way, if you hover over these photos on the filmstrip below there are captions...
We are some of the people behind Salem-News.com, a very cool news Website for Oregon and the whole world. Check it out, you might learn something really interesting.
I spent the winter of '06/'07 in Afghanistan as an embedded reporter with the 41st Combat Brigade of the Oregon National Guard. Depending on how things go, I may go back to cover more stories this summer. All of the stories that I did are available to see at www.Salem-News.com under "Dispatches from Afghanistan."
Going there was a very moving experience and I hope people understand that people there deserve to live without war some day. The Coalition forces are bringing the Afghan people more peace than they have known in decades.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm really busy with Salem-News.com and I would like to be here to share information about what the heck is going on out there. I want to add friends that want updates on stories from the war and other stories as well, maybe what I post here will have more of an edge than the pieces I produce for mainstream news, the possibilities are big!
I'm getting a good ration for the photo below, I am telling people it is the future appearance of women of Afghanistan. My wife tells me I'm dreaming, but a person can hope! Burqas are bad; but veils can be very sexy!
