Bureau chief for the Tribune's north suburban bureau based in Schaumburg. Works with the talented reporters responsible for covering the northwest suburbs.

Peter Hernon joined the Tribune in late 1999 and has spent his career in the always interesting, always story-rich suburbs. He previously worked in St. Louis, New Orleans and Hannibal, Mo. His books include Under the Influence, the out of print, but not forgotten saga of the Anheuser Busch dynasty.

My family, canoeing, fishing, good and bad books, and our church.
