Vice President of News & Content-News Channel Nebraska

Hi! Since starting with News Channel Nebraska in 2016, I’ve held virtually every on air role we offer. I started as a reporter in Norfolk, spent a year as the evening TV anchor, one year as a radio news/sports anchor, and two years leading our TV news and radio sports in the southeast region. Currently, I am in charge of news and content for NCN's radio and TV operations in the Tri Cities region. My favorite parts of the job include reporting on overlooked human interest stories in rural Nebraska and calling play-by-play for our UNK football TV broadcasts.

I grew up in Lincoln and graduated from Lincoln East High School and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Aside from NCN, I spent three seasons as a play-by-play announcer for professional baseball teams, including two seasons as the voice of my hometown Lincoln Saltdogs. I live in Kearney with my wife, Kailey, and our dog, Stella.
