When I'm not at work, I really love to visit art museums and other cultural venues. I like football, basketball, baseball and other athletic games. When the weather is nice, I walk most of the trails of the Atlanta metro area and beyond. I also have a passion for nature and auto racing. As a journalist, writer, author and TV News Anchor it is good to get away and relax sometimes.

I love the beach and the mountains. Travel is also a passion. I am an avid small farmer. I cultivate fruit trees in my home state of North Carolina, where I grow peach, apple, pear, plumb, cherry and pecan trees. My small farm also hosts grape vines, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. I live in Atlanta, but North Carolina is home. Being a journalist, writer, author and news veteran allows me to indulge in other passions.
