I consider it a privilege to serve 10/11 viewers across the great state of Nebraska. Thank you for inviting me into your living room each night. As you may know, I am a native Nebraskan. I grew up near the small community of Murdock, which is located between Lincoln and Omaha. I am proud to call this state home, because the people here are honest and trustworthy, and in my opinion, the natural beauty in Nebraska rivals that of any place in the nation.
I earned a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Nebraska, and I'm proud to say I performed with the University of Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band. I met my wife Taryn in the band, and we now have two wonderful children, a son and a daughter.
I have worked in the broadcasting industry for several years. I previously worked as a reporter for KQTV in St. Joseph, Missouri from 1993 to 1994, then as a reporter/weekend anchor at KOLN/KGIN-TV from 1994 to 1995. After that, I went to WATE-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee. For nearly seven years, I served as a reporter and anchor for a number of different newscasts, including the 10 o'clock news on Fox affiliate WTNZ. I joined KOLN/KGIN-TV as a 5, 6, and 10 o'clock news anchor in January of 2003.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, cooking, working in the yard, playing golf, and performing and listening to music.
As far as my broadcasting career is concerned, I've had the opportunity to cover many interesting stories and special events. I've also come in contact with a countless number of fascinating people. I believe integrity and fairness are of utmost importance when it comes to covering the news, and I believe our staff works hard everyday to make sure our newscasts are accurate and meaningful.
I want to thank you again for making 10/11 your choice for news. I hope you will continue to tune in, and when you do, I hope you will consider me your trusted friend.
