Meet the abc27 News Team

James joined the Daybreak team as a reporter in September 2005. Born and raised in Central Pennsylvania, James graduated from Susquehanna Township High School and then attended Penn State University at State College where he received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism with a minor in Political Science.

When James isn't working at abc27 he volunteers with the American Literacy Corporation or he's catching a ride on a coaster at Hersheypark.

James would also like to add, "I'm really happy to be a part of the abc27 news team. I grew up watching WHTM and I'm excited to be here."
