Lance Veeser
Sports Reporter |
veeser@nbcactionnews.com
Lance contributes to the 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts on NBC Action News, as well the 38 Sports Spot. Lance is new to Kansas City, but not to the Midwest. He spent more than two years as the Sports Director at KSNT-TV in Topeka. During that time, he covered many local teams very closely. Lance says there's been no greater thrill in his career than opening day at the K, Sundays at Arrowhead stadium or watching the Big 12 schools battle it out in ANY sport.
Prior to moving to Topeka, Lance worked as a sports reporter/photographer in Huntington, West Virginia, home of the Marshall Thundering Herd. Lance played baseball at Marshall. Although his college career went well, he realized he would need another way to make it to the Major Leagues.
As expected, Lance is a sports nut. He loves watching sports, playing sports or even training for sports. No matter what sport you love, chances are Lance will be covering it at some point.
