Amy Rolph

Amy Rolph covers higher education for the Seattle P-I. She worked at The Olympian and The (Everett) Herald covering politics and business before joining the P-I staff in 2006. Since then, she's written about an axe-wielding gaming champion, an iconic chain gang, classroom crackdowns impacting local students, and the story behind trash-bag apparel.

A fifth-generation native of the Pacific Northwest, Amy graduated from Bellevue Community College and the University of Washington. She suffers from chronic book lust, practices vinyasa yoga and plays violin with a local orchestra.

Candace Heckman

Candace Heckman is the Breaking News editor for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Seattlepi.com. Candace was the P-I's consumer reporter, columnist and blogger in a previous life.

Candace came to the P-I in April 2000 by way of Philadelphia and Arkansas. She was born and raised on O'ahu, Hawaii, but left her own little rock for the Great Big World after high school.

So, how did a part-Native Hawaiian surfer girl end up land-locked as a University of Arkansas Razorback?

"We Hawaiians really love our roasted pork," she says. "Arkansas has got to be the only place where they roast their own mascot over a spit on the frat house lawn for Homecoming. You gotta love that."

Casey McNerthney

Casey McNerthney, the main contributor to Seattle 911, has been spending time under the P-I globe since 2004.

As part of the P-I’s breaking news team, he reports from the front lines for stories that initially appear online, helping make seattlepi.com one of the nation’s most-read newspaper Web sites.

He started at the P-I as a sports correspondent, covering high school sports and players such as Jake Locker. He was even talked into joining a practice before the National Synchronized Swimming Championships. It wasn’t pretty.

McNerthney was raised in Seattle, back when retro Mariners logos were new and "Almost Live!" was funnier than "Saturday Night Live." After graduating from Bishop Blanchet High School and Western Washington University, he worked as a contributor for the Port Townsend and Jefferson County Leader. He also spent a summer at KJR-AM and was host of the morning show on KUGS-FM in Bellingham.

A breaking news reporter since 2006, McNerthney uncovered the report of an alleged sexual assault at a Seattle high school that administrators didn’t pass on to police. That led to an award-winning special report with P-I reporter Jessica Blanchard, exposing how several crimes were not reported in Seattle Public Schools.

McNerthney’s favorite stories include articles on Sabrina Rasmussen, a rape victim who spoke out against her attacker who murdered another girl, and a profile of Kevin Berg, a man with cerebral palsy who walked his first steps to help others neglected by insurance companies.

He likes to get story tips and can be reached at 206-448-8220 or caseymcnerthney@seattlepi.com. He also likes Dick's cheeseburgers and spending summer nights at Safeco Field.

Kery Murakami

Kery Murakami was born in Japan but moved to the United States when he was 4, which explains why he speaks Japanese like a 4 year old. After growing up in the mean streets of midtown Manhattan, he attended the University of Michigan, where he's been a senior since 1988.

He covered the crack epidemic in Jersey City, N.J,. then gang warfare in Tacoma before spending the next 11 years with an even scarier assignment. He covered state government for three years, King County government, Seattle City Hall, and the monorail debate. For the last three years, he has been writing about life in Seattle, chronicling the death of the city's beloved dive bars like the Jade Pagoda, Sorry Charlie's, and Cha Cha.

When he's not sitting on a bar stool for work, he can usually be found at the Deluxe Bar & Grill on Broadway.

Some people think he has a peculiar view of the world, probably because he spent the first 30 years of his life thinking the phrase is "doggy dog world." But in what kind of world would you rather live? A dog-eat-dog world or a doggy-dog one?
