Synopsis
I am a longtime journalist, current producing for RTV6 (WRTV), in Indianapolis. Much of the content here is from my time at crosstown news/talk radio station WIBC. Southerner at heart - hometown is Trenton, Georgia - and though I now live in the IndyCar capital city, pro wrestling, old jazz, science and baseball are my things.
