Hello!

My name's Robert; thanks for stopping by. 

A bit about me: I cover the Colorado state legislature and statewide politics for The Denver Post, where I strive to explain policy in easy-to-understand terms and highlight how decisions by elected officials impact people and everyday life. 

Before joining The Post in 2026, I was a statehouse reporter for Swift Communications, the newspaper group that owns Vail Daily, Aspen Times, Summit Daily News and other papers in the Rocky Mountain region, where I focused on western Colorado policies and issues. I also covered local news in the south Denver metro area for Colorado Community Media.

Since starting my career in 2021, I've won over a dozen state and regional awards across several news categories, including politics, investigations and enterprise reporting. Winning stories include a deep-dive look at the flaws in income limits for affordable housing; a feature on how rural communities are dealing with rising health insurance rates; a long-form report about a mobile home community that went nearly two months without reliable running water; and an investigation into car crashes spurred by police chases in the Denver suburbs.

Have a look at some of my work and feel free to reach out through my contact page. I'd love to chat!
