Spellman is leaving to work as the Vice President of External Affairs at the Houston Housing Authority where he will get to put his media knowledge to work.
It was an addition to the Spellman family that set the ball in motion for a career change (I understand his reasoning).
"Being a reporter will always be in my blood, but 13 months ago I became a Dad," Spellman told the mikemcguff.com blog. "That changed everything for my wife, and me. I'll be glad to be home at night, and still have a challenging job where I can utilize my understanding of the media."
Spellman starts his new gig next Tuesday. Congratulations to him and his family.

Dennis is a Great reporter. He has the ability to understand what is real news and what belongs on E!. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working as a a one-man-band reporter in 2005, Dennis was courteous and helpful to me and all of his colleagues. He always showed respect for the story. Wish you the best in your new career, Dennis!
ReplyDeleteDennis is not only a good reporter, he's a very nice, down-to-earth guy as well. The fact that he has a radio background makes it even better. Good luck to Dennis in his new career.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I will be happy to see him go bye-bye. He's started becoming a pain to work with. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI met Dennis several years ago and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI've worked with Dennis for several years and while I'm sorry to see him go, this is a great opportunity for him.
ReplyDeleteI ran into Dennis at the galleria and boy was looked happy. Do you blame him??? Who the hell would like to work with the likes of the Mia or Maya chick that does or attempts to do the news on 39 @ 9PM. Thank GOD we have choices on which news we can watch. Good Luck Dennis.
