Just over a week ago, I officially traded in my already early morning alarm clock for an even EARLIER one… So far, so good 🤣 I’m honored to be a part of @WGNMorningNews as traffic producer for @BrhettVickery and traffic reporter for the @BobSirott show on @WGNRadio
It’s been 1 year without our beloved Rogue 🐈⬛ and she is missed beyond measure 💔 To honor her, we made food and supply donations to @FamousFido1
Please consider helping at: https://t.co/wPFUQjlnvP 🐾 Every little bit helps!
I hate the ignorant stigma placed on black cats, so on this #FridayThe13th, I’ve chosen to support ALL the black cats at @FamousFido1 in honor of my beloved Rogue, who would have been turning 20-years-old tomorrow on Valentine’s Day 🐈⬛♥️ https://t.co/PAT51dyGlo
After 1,169 submissions last week for their annual Poorly Drawn Pets fundraiser, @WiscHumane raised about $33,000 in 36 hours! I can’t thank the volunteers enough for this cheerful, bright light during these long, cold winter days (Rogue 🪽🐈⬛, nephew Chester 🐈 and Todd 🪽🐾)
⚠️ONLY UNTIL 4PM TODAY⚠️ This is a brilliant way to raise some money and have fun at the same time. I look forward to sharing their artwork of our beloved Rogue 🪽🐈⬛, nephew Chester 🐈, and forever good boy Todd 🪽🐾
Poorly Drawn Pets is back! For $25, we’ll draw your pet. You *might* get a work of art... or something reminiscent of kindergarten craft time, but it will definitely be a masterpiece no matter what! 🧑🎨

Routing #Skycam9 to various scenes every morning for @WGNMorningNews is just one of my multitude of work responsibilities 🚁 Kudos to the crew for capturing this hero in action. Give this man a raise ✨
Talk about going above and beyond! 👏🏼 Kudos to this crossing guard for doing everything to get these kids and their families across the street/down the sidewalks safely amid a water main break near Bryn Mawr/California. Great stuff! @WGNNews
Anyone else STILL buzzing this morning? Victory has never tasted so good 🐻⬇️ (P.S… I’ve had this coffee mug since 4th grade) @ChicagoBears@WGNRadio#GoodBetterBest
🐻⬇️: While I was born in Chicago (like my parents and grandparents), my upbringing was in Southern WI. I always got grief from classmates being a Bears fan. I’m proud to wear this circa 1995 sweatshirt I bought from the Boys Dept. at the Janesville Mall JCPenney #GoodBetterBest
Of course I had to represent traffic 🎄🚘
While I filled in for years, Dec. 5th marked 1 YEAR officially being a part of the @BobSirott Morning Show on @WGNRadio (the #1 Nielsen rated morning show in Chicago) By far, the best assignment of my 22-year career ✨
12TH ANNUAL DRIVE-THRU FOOD DRIVE: Until 10:00am, stop by where I work at @WGNNews (2501 W Bradley Place) to donate canned goods and other non-perishable packaged foods to help your fellow neighbors ❤️ Or text FOOD to 97999 and funds raised will be matched $.50 on the dollar.
Rogue 🐈⬛ is always on my mind and forever in my heart, but this week hits a bit heavy. While today is #NationalCatDay, Monday was #NationalBlackCatDay and #DayOfTheDeadForPets 💔 Still trying my best to carry love in a world that feels emptier without her. https://t.co/QMlXDOo4Bt
#DoorCounty: No alarms and no surprises, please. It’s been a much needed week away from the daily 2:15am alarm. Refresh, reset and back to work on Monday. Cheers!
⚠️ Emergency repairs on the IB Edens @ Skokie Blvd will continue for the rest of this morning. If you or someone you know suffered damage, @IDOT_Illinois has provided a link to begin the process of filing a claim ⚠️ @WGNRadio

It’s fitting that on this #RainbowBridgeRemembranceDay, I made donations of food, toys, blankets and litter to Famous Fido Rescue in honor of Rogue 🐈⬛ 🌈

SB I-65: An ongoing fatal crash investigation forces all traffic off at State Road 14 #Skycam9 shows at least a 2 mile delay of semis and cars that have been stuck behind the crash that happened after midnight.
WB I-80: All lanes CLOSED before IL-47, due to this 2 semi crash ⚠️ All traffic is forced off @ Brisbin Rd (however, #Skycam9 shows some vehicles that were stuck in delay before diversion having to pull a U-Turn) … Cleanup and investigation continues.
