News Anchor & Play-by-Play Announcer

I originally hail from Michigan. I spent two years covering news and sports in Humboldt, Iowa before moving to Norfolk, Nebraska, where I’ve worked in news and sports since 2010. I’ve been named sportscaster of the year in both Nebraska and Iowa and have won multiple awards for spot news and news reporting. My wife Libby and I have three children: Dante, Zain and Fallon.
