Huey Ruckmeier, TV Reporter

Huey is a TV reporter for a major Twin Cities TV station (KSTP/ABC Affiliate). He's a popular reporter, covering a variety of topics, including state government, consumer protection, and some investigative reporting. He is very telegenic and understands the television medium very well. He understands politics and other issues, and brings a sense of humor to otherwise dry subjects. He will pursue a story until he feels he's found the truth about it. His contacts in many areas have given him valuable material for his stories. Roxy Hilger (previous issue) is his favorite camera operator. They have a camaraderie that he usually reserves for men.

Off camera, he is not as well liked. He is very charming, but can be arrogant, and thinks of himself as a ladies man. Female station staff members have filed sexual harassment complaints against Huey for which he has been disciplined. He is too valuable to fire. Another station would snap him up quickly, regardless of his off-camera reputation.

In his private life, he's a man's man. He works out at a health club almost daily. He likes to hunt, play basketball, ski, camp, swim, skydive, and chase women, not necessarily in that order.
