Morning Anchor
I grew up just down the road, near the edge of the west, in Dickinson, North Dakota. My desire to work in news started when I was young and always asking my mom questions, such as “Why?”, “Where are you?”, and “Are we there yet?” This curiosity continued into high school when I took a government class and began paying attention to national and world events. I enjoy writing and editing and learning everything I can from the iconic Cliff Naylor and the rest of the KFYR TV team. In my spare time I enjoy playing and learning new sports, reading and spending time with my gaggle of nieces and nephews.
