I'm the son of a school teacher and a factory worker, and while that may make me a shoe-in to be a congressman, I decided I can change the world more directly as a journalist.Right now, I'm a sophomore studying broadcast journalism and political science at Northwestern University. I've had work published in Military Times and U.S. News, and I've reported on air at NBC affiliate WNDU-TV in South Bend, Indiana. I love news and I love politics, so hopefully democracy will still be in tact by the time I get a real job.
