Call me a journalist at heart. I just want to get to the bottom of any story, learn the truth and tell it to you. News and everything about it is who I am. But, I am also compelled to share my insights about many other things in life, like what it's really like to live in Las Vegas.
On a more personal note, I love my family, friends, animals and life itself. I often talk about those subjects, along with other topics that interest me, such as how bad television programming is today, how much I despise litter, graffiti, reckless drivers and people who have poor manners and a lack of respect for people and the law.
