2007 Penn State University Journalism grad's writings for the Centre Daily Times (State College, Pa.). I'm based out of Philadelphia, Pa.
A profile/small feature piece that I wrote for the Centre Daily Times about the local band Nitro, who after a 30 year hiatus, got back together to record an album. This article features interviews with everyone in the band and was a real treat to write, these guys were some of the friendliest, good-humored and most down to earth people I’ve come across since I began writing for the CDT. I wish them nothing but the best.
