He's worked on a wide range of stories from politics to pop culture, having interviewed everyone from asylum seekers in El Paso to #FreeBritney protesters outside Stanley Mosk Courthouse. So far, the proudest moment of his career is when Carly Rae Jepsen said hi to him.
Off the clock, you can usually catch him playing piano for his neighbor's cat, visiting branch libraries or rollerblading on various L.A. County bike paths.
