About me: NH PATCH CITIES/TOWNS: Concord, Amherst, Bedford, Exeter, Hampton/North Hampton, Londonderry, Merrimack, Milford, Nashua, Portsmouth, Salem, and Windham. HOW TO REACH ME: tony.schinella@patch.com WHO AM I? I'm a suburban father and husband, award-winning journalist and radio broadcaster, political blogger, online and print publisher, and musician. After stints in retail, politics, and sales, I ventured into community journalism and broadcasting decades ago and never looked back. I enjoy talking to people, producing and editing video, and taking photos. Personal interests include playing softball, hiking, devouring non-fiction books (media and political history, especially), watching movies, playing games with my children, and noodling in my home studio, creating music podcast-mix tapes while listening to all kinds of music.
