I'm a reporter for the Lost Coast Outpost, a news website serving Humboldt County, Calif. I've been working as a reporter in this county since 2007, covering a broad range of stories, from government to health care, crime, the economy, homelessness and more. Prior to my current job I spent five years as a staff writer (and occasional acting editor) for the North Coast Journal, an alt-weekly also serving Humboldt County, and almost two years at the local daily, the Times-Standard.
