Covering the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyongChang, South Korea remains a highlight of my 35 year career in journalism. I’m thrilled that I’m going to get to do it again, this time at the @milanocortina26 games in Italy. Six months from today! @nbcbayarea @NBCOlympics

When day care teacher Jessica Alaimo learned that 4-year-old Quinn Drake had a goal of meeting 1,000 dogs before he started kindergarten, she had one thought: “I need to step up here.” #BayAreaProud @nbcbayarea bit.ly/bap0907

For #BayAreaProud stories, I'm always looking for people who go "above and beyond" to help others. 7 weeks chasing 1 rooster, so people can sleep (and the rooster doesn't get eaten by a coyote or hit by a car)? Yeah, that qualifies. @nbcbayarea bit.ly/bap0903

Going into tonight’s free skate at the World Figure Skating Championships, Alysa Liu is in first place. This is a woman who hadn’t put on a pair of skates for TWO YEARS before coming out of retirement last year. Loved hearing her story. @nbcbayarea bit.ly/4jWrvHQ

People often ask where I find my #BayAreaProud stories. I don’t, really. They find me. I rely on viewers who let me know about stories of kindness, generosity, and compassion in their lives. Know of one? Share it with me. @nbcbayarea Email: bayareaproud@nbcnayarea.com

For #BayAreaProud stories, I look for someone who's gone "above and beyond" to help another. Well, when your day job is at a non-profit that saves lives, the bar is set pretty high. Luis Mayen easily cleared it. #BayAreaProud @nbcbayarea @mydnwest bit.ly/bap0899

Loved this conversation with Alysa Liu. She admits her 2022 retirement from skating left many confused. Alysa shares what led up to it, why she came back, and why she is enjoying skating like never before. @nbcbayarea @NBCOlympics @USFigureSkating bit.ly/4jWrvHQ

San Francisco is a beautiful place. It's no wonder many artists use it as a subject for their work. Lenny Maughan, however, uses it as his canvas, creating his remarkable works one stride at a time. #BayAreaProud @nbcbayarea bit.ly/bap0897

‘My canvas is San Francisco': Runner uses GPS to create amazing artwork

Around 10 years ago, Lenny Maughan noticed that when he mapped his runs, it sometimes resembled an object, animal or person. So, he set about doing it on purpose.

In 2021, Barrett Deng and Sebastien Burkhardt were in Boston when wildfire smoke blanketed the region. "We realized this wasn't just a California issue." The two retreated to a Mountain View garage to find a way to help. #BayAreaProud @nbcbayarea bit.ly/bap0895
