Four years and two months have simply flown by.

I came here an excited but nervous new anchor, and learned so much.

Through the tornado and floods of 2008, through the elections, the crime reports, the RAGBRAI tours, the happy times and the tragic times, I have learned this: there is still much good in the world.

There were some days it was very hard to read certain headlines.

But I could always count on a positive event and a positive story around the next corner.

The KWWL Today in Iowa team. I've loved working with Jeff Eliasoph and meteorologist Eileen Loan "dark and early". Eileen wakes up at 12:30 a.m. to prepare the forecast.

From two grandsons raising money for their grandmother who lost her belongings in the flood, to a 92-year-old man deciding to skydive for the first time, you have put a smile on my face and in my heart.

I will miss you, eastern Iowa.

Thank you for letting me help you wake up every morning.

You have shown me that light is stronger than dark, and good more powerful than evil.

It is time for me to move on.

You are in good hands with Jeff Eliasoph and Natasha Chughtai.  - They are really great.

Best wishes!
