Tad Vezner

Tad Vezner has been reporting about crime, politics and redemption in the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, for roughly a decade. He's profiled gang leaders and priests, entrepreneurs and con men, and their oft-belated attempts to make their messy lives right. Or not. Prior to that, he backpacked across Australia, worked as an illegal banana picker, and did social work in Chicago. He and his wife live in St. Paul.
