His investigations have earned more than 30 regional Emmy Awards, including being nominated as an outstanding investigative reporter for the past 12 years.
He has received 12 regional Edward R. Murrow Awards and a prestigious national honor from the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards for an investigative documentary about the missteps surrounding a natural gas explosion at a restaurant.
