Managing EditorStephanie Greegor
Stephanie Greegor is an award-winning journalist that has dabbled in everything from sports (she's an avid Blue Jackets fan and reporter) to crime, cops and courts. Business has become a new passion and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the talented staff here at hiVelocity.
A native of Cambridge, Stephanie graduated from Muskingum University with a double-major in English and psychology. She was a writer, columnist and editor for The Daily Jeffersonian in Cambridge before moving on to The Independent in Massillon, The Times Recorder in Zanesville and The Other Paper in Columbus.

Managing Photographer
Benjamin French
Ben started his career in Bowling Green, Ohio, as a photographer and photo editor at the G News. This is where he found his passion to be a photojournalist. Capturing people and things in their real-life environment is what drew him to this field of photography. While gaining experience at the BG News and Bowling Green Sentinel Tribune, he earned his bachelor of science in technology with a focus in visual communication at Bowling Green State University.
In his 10 years of professional experience, he has served as the sole photographer for the News Messenger -- a Gannett-owned newspaper in Fremont, Ohio, as a staff photographer for Suburban News Publications in Columbus, Ohio, and runs his own successful wedding photography business. His work has been published by The New York Times, The Detroit Free Press, The Columbus Dispatch, and The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and has received numerous awards from the Associated Press. Photography has been his lifelong passion, and as the grandson of a professional photographer, he has generations of experience to draw from. Ben also enjoys camping, nature photography and playing bass in his band, The Top Heavies.
