Great Falls, Montana, United States
I am a Montana native who is passionate about Great Falls and the treasure state. Executive Producer at KRTV/KTGF in Great Falls where I help manage an awesome team of journalists who tell the story of our community every day through nightly newscasts and social media. Great Falls is my home, and we've developed deep roots in the community. My wife and I are partners in a restaurant and cocktail lounge downtown. I spend my free time volunteering for Special Olympics Montana, where I serve on the area management team and state wide board of directors. I also serve on the board of the Great Falls Public Schools Foundation, helping enhance public education in Great Falls. I jump at the opportunity to lead station initiatives in the community. I hope to continue helping Great Falls grow for many years to come!
