I report on Harris County government and the Port of Houston Authority for the Houston Chronicle, where I previously covered aviation and shipping for the business section. I started my journalism career in West Texas reporting on local and state government and water issues for the San Angelo Standard-Times and Reuters America Service. When I'm not writing the news, I'm reading the news, traveling or enjoying Houston's fabulous museums and restaurants.
