Hi, I'm WHNT, NEWS 19's Carson Clark. I am the station's Sand Mountain Bureau Chief. I primarily cover the counties of Marshall, DeKalb and Jackson. Photojournalist Brad Hood and I work out of our bureau office in Albertville.
In addition to my duties covering Sand Mountain, you will sometimes find me covering high profile murder trials for the station. A good example is the 2007 trial of Mary Winkler in Selmer, Tennessee.
I was born in Huntsville and grew up in Morgan County in the Union Hill Community. I graduated from Brewer High School and then went on to The University of Alabama, where I earned a degree in Communication and Information Sciences. My first stop out of college was to a small station in Tuscaloosa. I was at WRJD, NewsChannel 49, for five months, when I got the call to come back home to The Tennessee Valley. I had interned at WHNT while in college and continued to work there part time up until the time I took the reporting job in Tuscaloosa. Then in October after I graduated, then WHNT news director Bill Shory called and asked if I would like to come work full-time at 19. The rest they say is history. 2009 marks my 10th Anniversary here.
When I'm not working, I love to travel. I've traveled across the country and also to the countries of Mexico, Argentina and The Dominican Republic. Of course being an Alabama graduate and life-long fan, you will find me pulling for the Crimson Tide on Saturdays in the fall. Roll Tide.
