  Hey there.
  
  I’m WITF's special projects editor, and get up at "0-dark-30" to host both Morning Edition and The Morning Agenda podcast.
  
  As a host, I get to connect with people every day and serve as their trusted guide through the news of the day.
  
  When I'm wearing my editor hat, I work with our journalists on deep dives and help them craft audio stories that are intimate and unique. I also set aside time to work on my own pieces -- like documenting the evolution of the Flight 93 crash site over 20 years and telling an unknown story from the D-Day invasion.
  
  My work has been honored nationally (six-time RTDNA National Edward R. Murrow Award recipient), regionally and statewide.
  
  A life-long Pennsylvanian, I count Hopewell, Indiana (IUP), Lewistown, Gettysburg, Harrisburg, and Millersville as places I’ve lived.
  
  New Cumberland has been my neighborhood since 2009, where I live with my wife, Amy, and our dog, Happy.
  
  This is home.
  
  It's a privilege to tell the story of the people across the region day after day.

Purple Pennsylvania turns red in 2024. Donald Trump is on the verge of clinching the presidency  after winning the commonwealth, putting him just three electoral votes shy of securing his return to the White House. (Today’s episode was recorded before the race was called for the former president).

U.S. Senator Bob Casey may be Pennsylvania’s best-known politician — but he has an uphill fight to earn a fourth term. Republican David McCormick led vote counting early this morning by about 100,000 votes, or two percent.

The race between incumbent Republican Congressman Scott Perry and Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson is too close to call.

Four other Republican congressmen in Central Pennsylvania have earned re-election.

Republicans will hold all three statewide row offices in January.
