In 2020, I was fortunate to have that business bought by Chris Kenny and was hired to build Delaware LIVE News. The mission remains …
Recognizing our blessings is powerful To use the words thankful or grateful would not come close to the feeling I woke up with this morning. To begin with, I woke up. I am breathing, alive.

“Our state. Our news. Our home.” The man behind the media movement to restore community voices for the betterment of all. Community. Where traditions are born and passed down through generations.

Putting pressure on decision-makers works. Yesterday we saw two victories during the House debate on firearm bans. After demonstrating that State has not consistently funded, created policy, or even measured gun violence in the state of Delaware, the House Majority Leader committed on the floor to support annual funding for school safety and a bill that allows the State to …
As a small business owner, local journalist, community volunteer, and state lawmaker, I have had the privilege of being an active member of our community through a commitment to the people I serve.

Today we are here to honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are protected for another generation.
