What was your first job as a journalist?

At age 17 I became the youngest Sports Editor ever for the West Seattle Herald.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! And I miss the sound of an IBM Selectric ball banging away!

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

First off, it has to be relevant to our audience, which means it has to have something to do with the communities we cover...

Wordpress, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Facebook, social media and much more!

What's your favorite social network?

Facebook, as it's our biggest referral site.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Yes, I was Editor and Photographer.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Turning declassified FBI documents on a long-forgotten UFO case and making into a film called "The Maury Island Incident"
