He offered this comment on joining The American and Islander
"The EA is a great organization and Hancock County has always been a major hotbed for high school sports in the state of Maine. There are some great young journalists in this newsroom that I'm looking forward to being a mentor for, and I'm excited to provide quality coverage of some great teams in Hancock County"
