I produce online national content for the E.W. Scripps Company and I'm based out of KTNV-TV, the ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, Nevada. My content is distributed across 33 television stations and 34 radio stations in a total of 17 states.
Topics I cover range from political debate coverage to the latest viral news, and everything in between.
Police were recently called to a New Jersey elementary school classroom after a third-grader made comments about a brownie that another student called "racist." It happened at William P.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, infamous for making brash comments, sent the audience of Thursday's Republican debate roaring in laughter when he responded to days-old insult by Florida Senator Marco Rubio. Earlier this week, Rubio joked with a Virginia crowd that Trump has small hands for his height.
As we're seeing time and time again, it's easy to get dangerously distracted while trying to "catch 'em all." Thankfully this time, one player's mishap was harmless and actually made for good TV.

The excitement briefly fell flat during Sunday night's 68th annual Emmy Awards when embattled comedian Bill Cosby's name was mentioned. When the show's announcer "invited" Cosby - who's been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women -- to the stage, tension filled the audience.
An elderly Texas couple recently died, side by side and holding hands, after a staggering 58 years of marriage together. The San Antonio couple, George and Ora Lee Rodriguez, had celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary less than a week prior, according to People. They died less than three hours apart.
The pro-Donald Trump girl group "USA Freedom Kids" went viral after a breakthrough performance at a Florida rally earlier this year. Although the group's viral performance and lyrics once praised the Republican presidential nominee, that commitment seems to be a thing of the past.
Protests have turned violent in Charlotte, North Carolina, after a black man was killed Tuesday in an officer-involved shooting, WBTV and other sources report. At least a dozen officers reportedly suffered injuries, all of which are expected to fully recover.
