Welcome to Quincy Washington.
For more than 18 years, Quincy has been home to my wife, our kids, and me. It’s where we’ve raised our family, invested our time, and built lasting relationships across the community. Over the years, we’ve been actively involved in local programs and organizations including Girl Scouts, Quincy Valley Allied Arts, our local church, youth sports, public school and homeschool groups—giving us a front-row seat to the people, stories, and rhythms that make this area unique.
As a professional podcaster and storyteller, this page exists to connect my work with the place I know best. It serves as the home base for a local daily podcast and an upcoming community news and newsletter platform designed to highlight what’s happening in Quincy and the surrounding towns—sharing information, conversations, and context that matter to the people who live here. This isn’t about headlines from somewhere else; it’s about telling the story of our community, from the inside, with care, consistency, and respect.

Our Podcast: Good Morning Quincy WA
A daily dose of local news, community updates, and small-town connection.
Good Morning Quincy WA is a weekday morning podcast dedicated to keeping the heart of the Columbia Basin informed, connected, and smiling. Covering Quincy, Winchester, George, and Crescent Bar, this show focuses on the people, places, and stories that make our shared community feel like home.
Each episode is a short, easy-to-listen-to morning update (15–30 minutes, Monday through Friday), designed to fit perfectly into your coffee routine or commute. We’ll cover:
- The local weather forecast
- Upcoming and recent community events
- School news, sports scores, music, drama, and activities
- Updates from local police, fire, and emergency services
- Town council and school board highlights
- Free events from local businesses, churches, and community groups
Mondays take a deeper look at what happened around town over the weekend, while Fridays help you plan what’s ahead—games, events, gatherings, and ways to enjoy the coming days.
Good Morning Quincy WA isn’t about big-city headlines—it’s about our neighbors, our schools, and our community. Friendly, upbeat, and rooted in local pride, this show is your front-porch conversation for the start of every weekday.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident or new to the area, grab your coffee and start your day informed.

This is sponsorship, not advertising.
Through Good Morning Quincy WA NewsCast, WelcomeToQuincyWA.com, and our growing distribution across social platforms, we are creating a centralized, daily flow of local information that people can actually rely on. That includes:
-
Daily local news and updates people can consume on their schedule
-
On-the-ground coverage of meetings and events most residents don’t have time to attend
-
Consistent visibility for local businesses, organizations, and initiatives
-
A platform that helps connect residents to what’s happening in their own community
This is just the beginning phase.
As the platform grows, the vision expands into something much larger:
-
A true hub for community information and engagement
-
Expanded coverage and deeper storytelling about the people and projects shaping the area
-
Stronger support for local economic growth through visibility and awareness
-
Tools and systems that help organizations communicate more effectively with the public
-
A long-term, sustainable model for rural local news
In a time when small communities are losing their newspapers and local coverage is disappearing, this isn’t just content—it’s infrastructure. And like any infrastructure, it only works when the community decides it matters enough to support.
Right now, we’re inviting a small group of Founding Sponsors and Community Sponsors who believe local news matters and want to help keep the show on the air and the local news coming. Traditional ads will come later as the audience grows—but this stage is about supporting the mission.
Your support helps cover:
-
Daily production and hosting
-
Equipment, software, and distribution
-
Consistent coverage of local schools, events, sports, and city updates
- Movement into phase 3
Sponsors are acknowledged as Founding Sponsors and Community Sponsors with different benefit for each level. Each will be recognized for helping keep local news accessible and free for everyone. Sponsors will also enjoy free access inside the Life In Quincy WA Substack and Advanced Membership
If you believe Quincy deserves a reliable local voice, we’d love to have your support.
