NICK DREYER
KMOT News Director, 6 & 10 Anchor

I grew up on farm west of Willow City, ND, but unlike many of my friends, farming never really peaked my interests.  I didn't know what I wanted to do until my senior year English class.  Our class assignment was to put on a mock newscast and wouldn't you know it, I was picked to be the news anchor.  I knew from that point what I wanted to do and haven't looked back since. 

I began working at KMOT in August of 2000 as a part-time photographer.  I moved to full-time reporter in January 2001.  That same year I received my broadcasting degree from Minot State University.  In the fall of 2001 I became co-anchor of the Night Report , but with format changes I moved back to reporter.  My position at KMOT grew into News Director in the fall of 2005.  In the summer of 2008 I became the news anchor for our Evening and Night Reports .  The job has taken me down to San Diego, CA to follow Marine boot camp and way up in the sky flying in an F-16 with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.  I guess the farm never really left me because in 2005 I began farming a piece of land near my hometown .  It provides me great material for my weekly agriculture series called "On The Farm" during the growing season.
