KEYC

Quinn is the Minnesota Captiol Bureau Reporter for KEYC News Now.

He previously worked at our sister station in Duluth from June 2021 to March 2023.

Quinn graduated from Biola University with a B.A. in Journalism.

During college, Quinn first worked as a reporter, and eventually as the anchor/EP of his University's news program.

There, he learned to love the thrill of journalism while working at the assignment desk at KTLA in Los Angeles in the summer of 2020.

When he isn't on camera, Quinn enjoys skiing, watching baseball, and creating videos on his computer.

Quinn is a "super fan" of the San Diego Padres!

He loves being outdoors and is a huge extrovert, so he spends a lot of time with friends and family.

Minnesota is a far cry from Southern California, but it's a beautiful place that Quinn is excited to explore.
