I'm referred to as a Mobile Journalist and some call it a "MoJo," but occasionally I do sit down, so I'm not sure that's accurate. I cover breaking news and public safety in the Cedar Rapids area. Accidents, fires, robberies, gas leaks...that sort of thing. Look for me in the unmarked CR-V tailing the ambulance or fire truck. I'd like to hear from you. Click here to e-mail me.
