Fearless Leader
Buckhannon born and raised, Brian earned a degree in computer science from Yale University before returning to his hometown to serve as the editor of The Record Delta for 15 years. My Buckhannon is the intoxicating fusion of his love of technology, journalism and this wonderful community in the heart of West Virginia. Brian is an avid tea drinker.
Editor Extraordinaire
Katie may have been born in a suburb of Philadelphia, but she moved to Buckhannon when she was just four years old, so Upshur County has always felt like home to her. She’s got a bachelor’s degree in English, a master’s in American Studies, and she loves cats. Katie has watched – and once owned on VHS – every single episode of the “I Love Lucy” show.
Rad Reporter
Upshur County native Monica Zalaznik is the newest member of the My Buckhannon team. She graduated from Marshall University with a bachelor’s degree in print journalism and a minor in history. In her spare time, she enjoys reading (a few favorite authors: Brandon Sanderson, Kevin Hearne and Anthony Ryan) and playing video games – especially “The Legend of Zelda.”
News Correspondent
Growing up in Randolph County, Beth started her reporting career the old-fashioned way: tapping out articles on a 1931 Underwood manual typewriter. She studied journalism at WVU and worked as a staff writer and correspondent for The Inter-Mountain and The Parsons Advocate. Beth enjoys the Buckhannon area and is excited to share people’s stories. Her favorite color is purple.
Sports Editor
Duane is the newest member of the My Buckhannon news and sports squad. A longtime fixture along the Upshur County sidelines, Duane brings decades of experience to the role of Sports Editor. He’s always game to chat all things B-U sports, so give him a wave the next time you see him wandering the field or hanging out in the press box.
Digital Content Manager
Beckie is the queen of content at My Buckhannon. She designs our colorful ads, manages our Instagram account, photographs and publishes organic content for our marketing clients, and writes regular stories promoting local businesses, organizations and events. She’s a graduate of B-UHS and WVU, where she studied Advertising and Public Relations.
Tammy Lyons
Digital Marketing Account Manager
Tammy brings more than 20 years of experience to her role as a marketing specialist. She’s done it all, from being an ad rep to running an entire newspaper organization as the publisher. She’s lived in North Central West Virginia her whole life and is excited to be back out in the community, helping local businesses succeed. She and her husband, Sean, live in Tennerton with their extended animal family.
