My name is Erik S. (Stephen) Hanley, a red-headed reporter also known to some as the Redheadliner. I write government, police and feature stories sourced from Oak Creek, Franklin, South Milwaukee, Cudahy, and St. Francis. I have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee in Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies with a minor in Political Science. My hobbies include Bible study, reading, woodcarving, hiking/walking, video games, and researching various topics as I'm always trying to better myself and learn.
