Combining my passion for good food and drink with a reporter’s natural curiosity, I’m constantly searching for compelling stories about the food world, broadcasting them to a growing TV, radio and web audience.

I routinely eat in dozens of restaurants and food shops every month, while occasionally roasting a whole pig in my wooden Caja China box in my alley.

In 1995, I switched from the news beat to covering food exclusively. Since then, I’ve been a frequent contributor to magazines, websites, newspapers and radio stations, while maintaining my constant role as a TV Food Producer and Reporter. As my expertise in the field has grown, I’ve also become a sought-after moderator, host, presenter and speaker.

My inside, behind-the-scenes knowledge of how television, radio and print work (and more importantly, what Editors and Producers need) has led to the creation of a unique, niche media training business, which focuses exclusively on the food and beverage industry outside of Chicago.
