About Me

He also worked as a TV anchor and reporter in Tallahassee, Florida; Huntsville, Alabama; Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo, New York and Kansas City, Missouri. Harold returned to WHUR in August 2007 as a news reporter and host of The Daily Drum. Occasionally he writes African-American lifestyle articles for The Baltimore Sun and has recently finished writing a romance novel.
