If you’d rather keep reading on this page, though, I can direct you to some of my favorite pieces. If you’d like to take a look at my award winning Memphis Magazine story Best Friends Forever, click here.  If you want to read my award winning piece that looks back on the history of public transit in Memphis, for which I read through dozens of newspapers dating back to the 19th century, click here.

Of course, these are just a few personal favorites. There’s plenty to go around, and you can check out my “best stories” section, or the categories under “written works” and “videos” to find more of my pieces and clips.
