Brian Sherrod is a multimedia journalist at CBS News Colorado and the First Alert Traffic Tracker Reporter. He has been in the news business since September of 2016.
He decided to pursue news as a career after being inspired by television anchors that he grew up watching in Charleston, South Carolina.
"I was 8 years old when I knew what I wanted to do. I was blessed to work with those same anchors at my first professional station out of college at Live 5 News," he said.
At one point in Brian's career he found himself in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. From there, he used to travel to Denver once to twice a month.
"The people here have always been welcoming to me," he said.
He moved to Colorado in November of 2021.
"I love everything about Colorado, especially the mountains, hiking trails and the many places you can eat," Brian said.
Over the years, he has become a huge hockey fan. Brian also has a special place in his heart for the Rocky Mountain Vibes minor league baseball team in Colorado Springs.
