Join me mornings Monday through Friday for Eastern Iowa's News and information as I anchor the news on 600 WMT and www.wmtradio.com then tune into our  Public Affairs and Community Events Magazine, 'What's Happening'' from 10-11a.m.  You'll hear from newsmakers across Eastern Iowa and learn more about the topics that matter to you. 

During the fall and winter, I'll be broadcasting live some of the best High School Football and Basketball games in Eastern Iowa,  providing you with all the play by play coverage.

Ryan's contributions to broadcast news also includes work with national media outlets.  He has served on local media panels and has assisted High School and College Students in media related studies. Ryan has also  garnered top honors from the Iowa Broadcast News Association and the Iowa Associated Press for his broadcast news reports.

...Born and raised in the metropolis of Marble Rock, Iowa (pop. 200-something).  After attending Rockford Senior High (in Iowa NOT Illinois ) and NIACC in Mason City, I graduated at the University of Iowa with a double major in Political Science and Communication Studies.   After a stint covering the Washington Demon and other sports teams in Washington, Iowa...I came on board at WMT where I've been since 2000.  I reside with my wife Julie in Cedar Rapids.   We enjoy Woody Allen movies (well, I made her watch them with me), hot sauce on our pizza (well, she doesn't really), and Barbershop harmony.  (I'm a Harmony Hawk and she sings with Metro Mix).   We also are avid fans of the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Cubs, and Iowa Hawkeyes (actually she married into that, but all is good!)
