For the past three years I've been out in the middle of what seems like one, never-ending cornfield working as a broadcast journalist. I'm one of those people that get's up at 3:00 in the morning and puts on a smile as I read the latest headlines and talk entertainment at 6 AM.

I grew up in Provo, UT, served a mission in Vina del Mar, Chile and graduated from BYU.

I love stories (probably why I'm a journalist) and I read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies/television (probably more than I should, but what else do I do with all the corn around?).

I enjoy running and swimming. I have run two marathons and hope to run another in 2013. It may be weird, however I don't listen to music while I run but books on tape -- it keeps me more entertained.

I consider myself optimistic and a hard worker. I believe people can do great things if they decide to do so.
