Matthew Holsen

As a native of KELOLAND, I am proud to say that I was born right here in Sioux Falls at Sioux Valley Hospital. 

Immediately following birth, and a couple of years, I was a student at Good Shepherd before ending up at Washington High school. While at Washington, I was an editor for the News of Washington. Finally I attended the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where I graduated from in the spring of 2006 with a Degree in Theatre and Communications. 

Before joining the KELOLAND News team as the Rapid City Bureau reporter, I roamed the world of radio. I started here in Sioux Falls and worked at KWSN, KELO AM, and KTWB. 

During my final semesters as a Golden Gopher I interned at KFAN and the FAN network in Minneapolis covering the Minnesota Vikings, Twins and Timberwolves. 

Current events are very exciting and more intriguing to me and a lot of people when they are local. I look forward to discovering the people and places that make news in the Rapid City area. 

Some random facts about me would be that I am married to a very kind and beautiful lady named Grace, I have a brand new baby girl, I am currently enlisted in the Marine Corps, and I have wonderful parents, two awesome brothers and family who live in the area and raise an army of pug dogs.
