This week, I'll share the short version of the journey. When I get the time, whenever that is, I'll share the long version (most of it has been in draft for the past couple months) and hopefully friends who've moved on or friends still at my former stations can chime in.
About Me
- Edgar
- I currently work in corporate television for a Fortune 100 company. I also coach high school soccer. Previously, I worked as a reporter/anchor at WMBD (96-97) and WEEK (99-01) in the Peoria/Bloomington market, as well as KSBW (97-99) in the Salinas/Monterey market and behind the scenes at WISN (93-95) in my hometown of Milwaukee. I spend most of my time with an amazing wife and three great kids. Each day I get with them is a blessing.
