Hey! I'm Finn.

I'm the morning weekday newscaster for MPR News.

 

Before MPR, I hosted All Things Considered and Weekend Edition at Northwest Public Broadcasting. There, I reported stories around the region, from the skies above Hells Canyon to the mountains of North Idaho. My reporting work has also aired nationally on NPR. Previous appointments include Iowa Public Radio and Iowa PBS. 

 

I earned a Bachelor of Arts at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where I studied piano, organ, and law. I wrote my thesis on forensic musicology issues, and presented it at Iowa Musicology Day in 2024. Specific interest areas include copyright law, music theory and musicology.
