Daryn Slover always pulls for the underdog - what would you expect from someone that was raised in Cleveland and lives in Lewiston.

When he is not riding mountain bikes with his family or waxing skis the night before his kid's ski race, he tackles snowstorms for the Sun Journal and uses his camera to spy on neighbor's kids in the school classroom so he can report back to mom and dad what well behaved children they have.
