Reporter, Kansas News ServiceBrian Grimmett comes to KMUW after taking a year break from journalism, but he’s excited to jump back in to the fray. Previously, Brian spent almost five years working at KUER 90.1 FM in Salt Lake City. He worked his way up, starting as an intern and sticking around long enough until they relented and gave him a full-time job. At KUER, Brian covered a wide range of topics, but mainly focused on covering the Utah state legislature.
Brian earned his bachelor’s degree in communications from Brigham Young University.
When not reporting, he enjoys spending time with his family and building/flying remote control planes and drones.
