Vernon Glenn has been KRON 4's weekend sports anchor and sports reporter since February 1990.
Since coming to KRON 4, Glenn has been tagged with the nickname "Mr. Involvement," for literally throwing himself into the middle of his feature stories. He has bungee-jumped, been thrown off a bull, taken blows from a professional boxer, and run a motorcycle into a wall during a race, among other memorable features. From a shoot-out with Chris Mullin to becoming a human target for the Cal football team, "Mr. Involvement" has created a niche in the market. John Marvel of the Contra Costa Times said, "The 'Mr. Involvement' series is the best feature on TV."
Glenn became part of the KNBR Radio Morning Show team in 1998, and now drops in occassionaly as a fill-in co-host.
In May 1996, Glenn was an honorary torch bearer in San Francisco as part of the Olympic Torch Relay, which stormed through the country on a 15,000-mile route through 42 states from Los Angeles to Atlanta.
Before joining KRON 4, Glenn worked at WBAL-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, as weekend sports anchor and sports reporter, beginning in 1987. Prior, he was sports anchor and weekday reporter/photographer for WXEX-TV, now WRIC, in Richmond, Virginia, from 1985 to 1987.
A graduate of the University of Virginia, Glenn spends his free time looking for his lost golf balls with help from his wife Nicole and sons Zachary, Jacob, and Nicholas.
