Dan Presser
Dan is a lifelong news junkie. His obsession started in grade school playing the News Game, and mostly losing to his buddy, Scott. He supplemented his less-than-championship-level knowledge by regularly watching the nightly network news anchored by the likes of Cronkite, Rather, Jennings and Brokaw. Still, he never really thought about it as a career until one day after graduating college, he and his future wife, Teresa, were at a local beach. Out of the blue, Dan told her he was going to go back to college to become a broadcast journalist.
Despite one instructor who told him he should stick to newspaper reporting, Dan finally landed back home in Madison, Wisconsin at WKOW-TV (ABC), where he enjoyed the best years of his career co-anchoring 27 First News with Carrie Cokins Knight.
Today, among other projects, he produces and anchors the award-winning hyper-local newscast Sun Prairie News. Dan and his wife enjoy camping and hiking.
