I'm new to the blogging world and I figure if I get three hits over the next month, I'll be way ahead of the over/under Vegas set for my blog views - I believe it's officially 1.5 hits.
Anyway, hello to everyone and in the coming days, I'll try and post some thoughts on current events, things going on in my life as a new father of a 15-month old and some links to stories that I think are important or interesting. I guess I can link to other bloggers, too. I know a few and, unlike a recent charge that claims they're all typing from their mom's basements, these bloggers don't quite fit into that catagory.
OK, let's see how it looks.
About Me
- David Montero
- Denver, Colorado, United States
- I was a reporter at the Rocky Mountain News and have been a professional journalist for 15 years. It's been a great ride, sometimes literally. While working for the Orange County Register, I covered the O.J. Simpson chase. Other significant stories including going to Kosovo during the refugee crisis, going to India to cover the tsunami and reporting from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, I covered the Democratic National Convention, interviewed Barack Obama once and Sen. John McCain twice. Other notable interviews included former DNC Chair Howard Dean, Gov. Bill Richardson and former Clinton cabinet member Federico Pena. I have written thousands of stories in my career, risked my life a few times for it and never regretted a moment.
