Courtny Gerrish started at TODAY'S TMJ4 on March 13 2006, but didn't step foot in Milwaukee for a week. "I reported on
Marquette students spending their spring break helping residents clean out their Katrina damaged homes."A graduate of
Indiana
University , Courtny first called
Evanston, Illinois home."
Milwaukee reminds me a lot of home, and it's nice to be back by the lakefront."
Before Milwaukee, Courtny was at the NBC affiliate in
Omaha, Nebraska - WOWT-TV - for 9 years. She began as anchor of the morning shows and covering the medical beat, but soon moved on to anchor weekend nights and serve as a general assignment reporter. Prior to that, she was working in
Idaho Falls, Idaho (KIFI-TV), where she explored nature and went camping for the first time. "When 'The Today Show' came to
Yellowstone
National Park , I had the chance to interview Bryant Gumbel. He was actually great, remembering all five of our names and making everyone feel comfortable."
Anchoring 'Live at 4:30' and serving as a general assignment reporter can be very busy, and Courtny hopes to get very involved in the Milwaukee area, once she's a little more settled in."When it comes to reporting, I believe I covered my most memorable story here in
Milwaukee in just my first month in town. Quadrevion Henning & Purvis Virginia Parker will be two young boys I will always remember, as well as their families."
Outside of work, Courtny has always stayed actively involved in her community.In
Omaha , she volunteered extensively for a program called 'Reach Out & Read,' which provides free books to underprivileged children during their pediatric well-child visits.She also served as Public Relations Chair for the Miss Omaha/Miss Douglas County Scholarship Board, and during the summers, participated in Habitat for Humanity's women's build."I now know how to drywall!"
When she's not busy with her career or her volunteer work, Courtny enjoys working out. "I'm an avid runner and compete in triathlons with a group called 'Team 4'.Together, we raise money for local cancer research.And I can't wait to see more of
Milwaukee by bike."She also loves to read, try new recipes, and go to sporting events whenever she can."I love sports and am hoping to catch a Packers game while Favre is still wearing #4."
