Most Memorable Assignments:

I have reported on a wide range of topics over the course of my career from the "Miracle on the Hudson" to the Republican National Convention in NYC 2004, the East Coast blackout of 2003, the tornado that swept through Brooklyn in 2010, not to mention hurricanes and blizzards, the Gainseville, Texas, floods and heat waves.

The one story that I will never forget was the one that changed the world – September 11, 2001. I will never forget the people I met on 9/11 and in the months and years that I was assigned to ground zero. It will live in my heart and my mind forever.
