Detroit, MI
Joined February 2009
I've been doing the job for a few months now but, today, it's official: I'm the digital director at the @freep. Working at my home state's largest newspaper alone has been a dream come true for me. I could never fathom that I'd one day oversee its day-to-day digital operations.

My all-time favorite @WorldofIsaac video is when he reviewed root beer float-flavored Peeps during COVID shutdowns and found out they're exactly as bad as you might expect.

Life is not fair. Andy was one of the best people I know, as documented by so many people on this platform. He brought joy and laughter to everyone around him, and we are all better off for having known him. Rest in peace, Andy. We love you. #FaturdayForever #FTB
Good morning . Andy passed away peacefully this morning beside his loving family. We thank you all for your support and love over the years. This was a genuine space of laughter and kindness. Please carry this spirit on in honor of Andy. As always, Faturday forever and FTB .
