In High School - Drama Club 11; Newspaper 12
Although a late-starter to EHS (I transferred in my sophomore year from a school in Mississippi), I was proud to attend Escambia and learn about the
world of journalism from Betty Sue Wren (now deceased). I went to work at
the Pensacola News Journal while still in high school, and was there during
my time at PJC and UWF. I worked at the News Journal for eight years, then
at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune for three. While there, I helped free a man
from prison who had been wrongly convicted, and competed for -- but didn't
win -- the Pulitzer Prize, but left the paper with something better. I met
my future wife Carrie there, and we both moved to Denver (her hometown) in
1990. I've been with the Denver Business Journal ever since, and will mark
20 years here in January. Carrie and I have two daughters: Madeline (12) and
Isabel (9) and a dog, Lulu (14 months).
I graduated EHS at my current height of 6 feet, but only weighed 128 pounds
soaking wet. I haven't grown an inch taller since then, but I'm no longer a
beanpole.
