I was different from the other kids because I read the Canton Repository newspaper every day front to back and had a National Geographic subscription (among others) by the fourth grade. My aptitude test for college directed me to two professions: Photo Editor or Lawyer. Eureka! So that's why I'm obsessed with news, magazines, museums and visual arts. I graduated in the first class of Visual Communications BSJ majors (Photo Editing) at Ohio University. I landed my dream job right out of school at USA TODAY and kissed Canton, Ohio good-bye.
