Who We Are...

Rick Henly - Editor

I worked at the Huntington Herald-Press over 25 years before being let go in a downsizing at the paper in 2008 by the current owners.

I'm currently employed as a custodian at Huntington North High School on third shift.  Those hours allow me to continue to do work for the website.

I have a son who is an Eagle Scout and also a senior member of the Huntington North Varsity Singers show choir and a daughter who is a Varsity Singer alumni and is currently a cruise ship performer until she decides she wants to use her teaching credentials and show kids the value of music.  My wife, Marcia and I are extremely proud of our kids.

I was born and raised in the South end of the county graduating from Huntington North. After a short detour I enrolled at Huntington University and received a bachelor’s in Business Management and later completed my Computer Science degree.

Nick Johnson - Reporter

I was born and raised in Huntington County.  Recently I married the love of my life, Lauren Davenport-Johnson, who has been my best friend for many years.  My wife and I share a passion for sports and love watching the local teams compete.  I am a runner by nature, and my wife is a humble Basketball star.  However, my wife has recently taken to running full time and ever since it has become increasingly more difficult to stay faster than her.
I love working with everyone at Huntington Free Press, and I really enjoy what we do!
