The Collaboration in the Mountain West is a Boise-based news bureau that covers five states across six public radio networks in the intermountain west.

"I am thrilled to be joining the Mountain West RJC as Managing Editor.  Many of the important issues on today’s national stage are playing out right here in our region.   From the contentious debate over public land use to energy exploration and natural resource extraction, to water and air quality, and ultimately, the debate over our changing climate.  So many critical stories to tell and I’m looking forward to telling them with an excellent team of reporters spread across the five states."
