BIO

Noah Cierzan full headshot.JPG

Ever since I was a kid, sports have always been a major part of my life, and that has only become more true as I've developed my skills as a broadcaster. It's a journey that started in Minneapolis where I grew up, before moving to Syracuse for school and Burlington where I currently serve Vermont and Northern New York as the weekday sports anchor for WPTZ, a Hearst Broadcasting television station.

When I'm not on the sidelines, I enjoy hitting the links and carrying on my culinary passions through my annual tradition, Soup Sunday.
