What It Feels Like to Have a Breakout Year
You hear about athletes having that one incredible year, that breakout year when they get it all right, improve by leaps and bounds, and break personal records. I think I’m experiencing that, and let me tell you, it feels awesome! I’ve gotten personal bests in all four metric distances (500 meter, 1000 meter, 1500 meter, […]
And Now I’m a Sports Announcer!
If you spend enough years in front of a microphone and get plugged in to your community, eventually you’ll have interesting opportunities come your way. And me not being one to turn down opportunities (or people depending on me), I say yes. So I’ve had the very good fortune to get pulled into live sports […]
Making Everything Better
One of the things I love about guest hosting The Morning Blend talk show is the chance to discuss with people from all walks of life how they handle their personal trials and make things better for others. Below are a couple of recent segments that do just that. The first features Speedskating Olympian Brian […]

A Successful Weekend on the Ice
I started my season later than normal, but I’m really happy to say that it really doesn’t show too much. I skated five races in this weekend’s “Masters International Single Distance Championships” at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee. It was my first competition this season and my first Masters meet ever. This meet […]
Talking about Homeschooling
One of the things that people find interesting about my background is that I homeschooled my three children. I did it for about a decade while working part time as a TV reporter. Because I was the only one in my newsroom who’d chosen that path, I sometimes had to field questions when the topic […]
When Tragedy Strikes
You just never know when terrible things will happen. You can only hope that bad situations are kept from getting worse and that you’ll be around people who keep a cool head. I experienced those things this weekend when I landed at Los Angeles International Airport right after the crazed shooting there that took the […]
