New Sentinel and Pilot reporter

The Wrangell Sentinel welcomes its newest staff writer, Dan Rudy.

Rudy recently arrived in Wrangell from Minot, N.D., where he worked as staff writer and evening editor for The Minot Daily News. He also has prior experience as a news cameraman for KXMC-CBS, as well as writing for his university and high school newspapers.

His first experience in Southeast Alaska was as an Alaska Service Corps crew member with the SAGA-AmeriCorps program in 2010. As a corps member, he conducted trail work and conservation projects in and around Gustavus, Juneau and Skagway. He is very pleased to return to the area and looks forward to getting to know the Wrangell community.

When not reporting, Rudy's interests include reading, cribbage and cooking.
