End of an era, and a brand-new chapter! 📸
Last night’s Rock Ridge graduation wasn’t just a celebration for the incredible graduates—it also marked my final assignment after a rewarding 27-year career with the Mesabi Tribune.
I want to say a heartfelt thank you to this amazing community. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives, your homes, your schools, and your games, and for trusting me to tell your stories for nearly three decades. Your support has meant the world to me.

I am incredibly excited to announce the launch of my own digital news site, Full Range Media!
