I've been fortunate to dabble in other areas of interest. At 5am, we're able to relay that information. People are starting their day, wondering what's new in our state, wondering what happened overnight here and around the world and what's going on in the weather.
Heck, at my age I'm up at that time anyway so I may as well make it productive! Since then I've been co-anchor of Country Morning Today and North Dakota Today and I love it! There's a feeling of responsibility being on the air that early in the morning. Then in 2018 our General Manager and News Director approached me about the prospect of returning to the on-air part of the business and after giving it some serious thought I decided that getting up in the middle of the night to go to work seemed like a good idea. So, I moved to Bismarck in 1994 and have been here ever since. After a few years of working late nights covering local sports, I became interested in advertising and decided to take a position with an ad agency in Sioux Falls which was followed by a job offer at KFYR-TV in the Creative Services/Sales Department. I applied, I auditioned and I got the job so I moved back to my home state. Every road trip was a long one!Īfter a couple of years in the Cornhusker state, a job became available as a television sportscaster in Sioux Falls. It was fun, it was educational and it required A LOT of travel because nothing is close to Chadron, Nebraska.
Besides covering local news in that area I was also the play-by-play voice for Chadron State College Eagle football and basketball games. My first job after college was as News and Sports Director at a small radio station in Chadron, Nebraska. Then in college (South Dakota State University), my roommate took a mass communications class, told me about it and I knew right then and there that a career in broadcasting was what I wanted. Whether it was watching old westerns, game shows or sports on television or listening to radio broadcasts of Minnesota Twins baseball games, I was always intrigued by the industry. Broadcasting, especially television, has intrigued me since I was very young.
