Now living in Woodbury, Minn., I'm a transplanted New Englander, from Fitchburg, Mass. I graduated from Fitchburg High School in 1972, and Emerson College in Boston in 1976, then started a career of small market radio news gigs until Boston, then New York called. Somewhere along the line, I ended up in St. Paul, Minnesota, where I write News Cut for Minnesota Public Radio. I'm a pilot and am building a Van's Aircraft RV-7A.
