Ethan is an award-winning journalist with more than a decade of experience reporting news. He joined the KY 3 News team in August 2005.

Although Ethan is a born and bred Midwesterner, his career has taken him to cities across the country. He's anchored and reported at television stations in Las Vegas; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Tallahassee, Fla.; and St. Louis.

His reporting earned him awards from The Associated Press and includes stories aired on CNN and MSNBC.

The most thrilling experience of his career was a breathtaking flight aboard a United States Air Force F-16 Thunderbird. The stories Ethan enjoys reporting the most, however, are those about people in his community. Those are the stories he gets to tell every day.

Ethan grew up in Collinsville, Ill., a town 10 miles from St. Louis that is known as the horseradish capital of the world and home to the world's largest catsup bottle. He graduated from UNLV and began his career as a newscast producer in Las Vegas before quickly becoming an anchor and reporter.

Ethan remains a huge fan of UNLV basketball and is confident the return-to-glory starts soon. He's also a big fan of St. Louis sports teams, especially the Cardinals, so having the Class AA Cardinals in Springfield works out nicely.

  Ethan married KY3 News reporter Sara Sheffield on April 21, 2007.
