About

I'm the Chief Investigative Reporter with Queen City News in Charlotte. The reports you'll see here are long form investigations I've turned. Most of my work deals with government corruption, wasted tax dollars and politicians who choose to operate outside the rules. As journalists, we can only do what we do with the help of sources. There are two things reporters must execute flawlessly: report accurate and true information and protect sources. If you've always wanted to blow the whistle and didn't know who to trust, let’s talk. Holding the powerful accountable for how they conduct the public's business and how they handle our tax dollars is the most important job we have as journalists. Feel free to reach me on Facebook, Twitter or by email: [email protected]

Video Description

We gave the Lake Lure fire official who threatened a volunteer pilot with arrest nearly four days to respond to our interview request. Instead of responding, the Lake Lure town manager agreed to an interview and doubled-down on the arrest threat, claiming the volunteer rescuer failed to "coordinate" before rescuing people the town couldn't get to.
