Jeff is a part-time reporter for Wyoming Public Media, as well as the owner and editor of the Laramie Reporter, a free online news source providing in-depth and investigative coverage of local events and trends. His work has also appeared in the Laramie Boomerang and WyoFile.
Interning as a science reporter with WPM during the summer of 2019, Jeff was promoted to his current position while finishing his master’s degree at University of Wyoming. In a former life as a Laramie Boomerang reporter, he was awarded six Pacemakers for his coverage of the university and Laramie culture. In his free time, Jeff laments the loss of his left kidney, drowning that sorrow with books about science, mead made locally, and far too many podcasts. His cat, Ramona, is far more interesting.
He specializes in political and science reporting, and enjoys afflicting the comfortable.
