Lehigh County reporterI’m Lehigh County reporter for LehighValleyNews.com. A graduate of William Allen High School in Allentown and Moravian College in Bethlehem, I was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. I joined Lehigh Valley Public Media in 2018 and have more than 15 years of experience as a reporter working in television, radio and newspapers. I’m an avid fan of local sports, sci-fi movies, comic books and video games. But my favorite pastime is being a dad and spending time with family.
