BIOGRAPHY:
Henry was born and raised in Rochester, N.Y. and graduated from Wittenberg University in 2002. He was a long-time, award-winning journalist, starting his career with the Urbana Citizen before moving on to the Xenia Gazette and running the sports pages for the Xenia, Fairborn and Beavercreek papers for a few years. From there, he enjoyed a long tenure in sports at the Troy Daily News before moving on to the Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum to take on a news assignment as the lead-reporter.
He then took over as the local editor at the Newark Advocate for about two years. His final job in newspapers was as the Regional Sports Editor for 10 local papers throughout Ohio, including Port Clinton, Fremont, Bucyrus, Marion, Mansfield, Newark, Lancaster, Zanesville, Coshocton and Chillicothe. He worked for almost two years on the assignment desk for WBNS-TV in Columbus and moved on to work several years in corporate communications before finding his way to Bellbrook, where he loves the challenge of the day-to-day school operations.
His wife is a Bellbrook graduate. They live in the Dayton area with their two children.
