Although his resume includes a stint working the "Chatter" section of People magazine, Rick Redfern is best known as a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Washington Post. He's broken numerous major stories over the years, from the Washington Redskins drug scandal to the Brett Kimberlin affair.

A reporter's reporter, Redfern is also a boy's dad and, until Dubya took the oath of office, a Washington insider's husband.
