About Dennis
I joined the Lawrence Journal-World as managing editor in April 2005, having previously worked for 10 years at Gannett Co. Inc. newspapers, including serving as managing editor of the Norwich Bulletin in Connecticut from 1999-2005 and as metro editor of the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin in New York from 1996-1999.
I've spent most of my career as an editor. I was managing editor for two of the Pioneer Press chain of suburban Chicago newspapers before joining Paddock Publication's Daily Herald in Arlington Heights, Ill., in 1990, where I was a bureau chief.
I was recognized as one of Gannett's top 10 supervisors in 2000, and received the Kansas Press Association's award for best column writing in 2006. I am a member of the Associated Press Managing Editors board of directors. I am a member of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Lawrence class of 2006.
I coach youth baseball and am a Big Brother to a teen at Central Junior High. My wife Julie and I have two sons, Eric and Thomas, and two dachshunds, Lorenzo and Francesca. We live in Lawrence.
