About Me

Just your friendly neighborhood Emmy Award winning host of Good Morning Memphis(3-times nominated) and Investigative Reporter for Fox-13 News in Memphis. A rabid sports fan, I like the New York Giants (Superbowl Champions), New York Knicks and the New York Yankees. I grew up in New York City. I went to City Intermediate School (CIS) 147 in the Bronx. Hear of it? I almost didn't graduate from Manhattan Tech High School. Whew! A proud graduate of Michigan State University's School of Journalism. Go State! I am a North Carolina native. Go Heels! And I live in Memphis. Go Tigers! It was so cold the other day I saw a lawyer with both his hands in his own pockets. That's one of my favorite jokes of all time. I recently used it on the air, many times in one morning. Love the movies, but don't get to see many in the theaters because of the schedule, or because of the lazy. Not sure which. As of the week after Thanksgiving, I have a Blackberry. It's the Blackberry Bold. Sleek and elegant, without sacraficing functionality.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ali...the greatest of all time.
