Welcome to Episode #036 of 3SOME.

My amazing guest today is an anchor, Award-Winning Reporter & Executive Producer for the WCAX-Channel 3 News (as well as the host of the show You Can Quote Me). A native Vermonter from the Northeast Kingdom (who attended Lake Region Union High School),
he earned a bachelor's degree in Mass Media Communications from Castleton University & was inducted into the Vermont State Colleges Hall of Fame in 2017. His career at Channel 3 news began in 1995. Prior to that, he was a print reporter for "The Chronicle"
in his hometown of Barton, Vermont. Throughout his outstanding professional work,  he has won: 
-  4 Emmy Awards
-  14 Associated Press Awards
-  numerous readers' choice awards in Seven Days, Times Argus & the Rutland Herald  (for his reporting & anchoring) 
&  19 Edward. R. Murrow Awards (including 1 national). 
His national Murrow Award - one of the most prestigious journalism awards in the U.S. - honored his investigation into open-air burn pits in war zones that were potentially making veterans ill. He has also won the VAB Broadcaster of the Year Award multiple times,
won VAB Awards for Outstanding TV Interview in both 2024 & 2025, & was awarded the distinguished Excellence in Journalism Award
by the organization as well. His series about Vermont's transgender community called "Becoming" lead him to becoming the only non-network reporter in the U.S. to be nominated for a GLAAD Award in 2009. And the NLGJA  Association of  LGBTQ  Journalists awarded him a national Excellence in Journalism Award for telling the coming out story of Vermont Electric Co-op CEO Christine Hallquist, who is transgender.
He is also a contributing correspondent to InvestigateTV, the national investigative program, which airs in more than 100 TV markets across the US.
And lastly, he shares that: 1) - he has 50 first cousins, and… 2) - that his go-to karaoke songs include both Billy Ray Cyrus's Achy Breaky Heart & the Asia classic - Heat Of The Moment.

Ladies & gentlemen - please welcome to today's episode… My favorite little chicken nugget   & news reporting legend…
