He succeeded the legendary John Seigenthaler and among his first big challenges, covering the 2000 Presidential election that wasn’t decided for weeks. Among his first big scoops, going undercover to expose abuses at a mental ward. Oh, we can’t forget he wrote a wine column and offers advice on the best value grape juice.
