Former news anchor/reporter at ABC15 Arizona, now freelancing as a voiceover artist and producer. Want to use my voice for your project?
Hi everyone, as you can see, I've lent my vocal and video editing skillset to a non-profit organization near and dear to my heart. (Full disclosure: my wife is the AZ director.)
Mental Health America of Arizona is part of a national organization dedicated to de-stigmatizing mental illness, through education and advocacy.
As this video details, the Arizona chapter provides a special training for companies and organizations who want to raise awareness and provide resources for their staff.

Next week, I will anchor my final newscast on ABC15. In fact, it will be my final newscast anywhere.
As I previously announced in November, I've made the decision to retire from TV news. Health issues caused me to re-assess my priorities in life. I decided to spend more time with the people I love, and less time arguing with people I don't know on social media. (Read my post from November 22nd to learn more.)
Starting Monday on our evening newscasts, we'll look back at the last 20 years, covering news in the Valley. I am not comfortable with all the hoopla. Traditionally, journalism is not about the journalist. It's about you. It's about all of us.
That said, if you're particularly nostalgic -- or just want to be reminded that I was once young and skinny -- please tune in starting Monday at 10. In the short time I have left in front of the camera, I want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story and placed their trust in us. It means more to me than I can ever express.

Just a reminder, nearly all of Maricopa County is in the red, meaning high transmission of COVID. In most school districts, the number of cases is rising.
According to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, there have been 847 outbreaks in schools since August of 2020.
Of those, 242 are considered active, which means they haven't resolved within 30 days.
In other words, 29% of ALL outbreaks in schools have happened in the last month.
Statewide data shows a 24% increase in cases in the last week.
And the holidays are just around the corner.

When they say they're against indoctrination, they really want indoctrination.... just the right kind of indoctrination.
This is the crux of the cultural debate over schools. Some people want to raise their kids "right," teaching them the way of the world through their eyes. Accept your place in society. This is the way it is.
Educators know learning is not a process of memorization and acceptance. It is an understanding of how to grow your own intellect. Lifelong learners question and challenge established doctrine. They use their imagination and creativity to solve problems.
School is supposed to teach you to think; not what to think. Ideas are to be explored; not buried.
Which is why indoctrination, in any form, will always fail. Smart kids are too smart to be drummed into systemic submission. They'll wonder why the people who are supposed to educate them are also trying to keep them from educating themselves.
