A graduate of Towson University, Chaz has been a working journalist for 30 years, and joined the Catholic press in 2006 at The Catholic Review in Baltimore. Chaz began working at CNS in 2008, covering higher education. He answered the call of convergence media a year later when CNS launched its video service and helped pioneer visual storytelling in the Catholic media’s digital platforms. In February 2013 Chaz joined CNS's Rome bureau to help in their coverage of the papal transition, returning to the news service’s Washington headquarters in April, where he has continued to travel the world to help provide the Catholic press with multimedia content that can be used in print and digital spaces.
