Russ Riesinger: Bio, Wiki, Age, Career, Family, Salary & Net Worth
Who is Russ Riesinger?
Russ Riesinger is your friendly neighborhood evening anchor and reporter at KTVQ in Billings, Montana. He’s been delivering the news since 2018 after migrating from WSAV-TV in Savannah, Georgia, where he also moonlighted as a digital journalist (but without the cape).
Russ Riesinger Age
Russ was born in the United States, but the exact year, month, or day? Still a mystery. He’s clearly doing a great job keeping his birthday as under wraps as his favorite fishing spot.
Russ Riesinger Education
Russ graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Communication — the perfect combo for understanding both breaking news and newsroom personalities. Not stopping there, he picked up a Master’s in Communication and Leadership from Gonzaga University in 2010. Because, why not?
Career: From Spinning Country Records to Breaking Headlines
Russ caught the broadcast bug young. As a kid, he fell asleep listening to distant radio stations on his AM transistor. Just two weeks after finishing high school, he landed his first gig at a country music station spinning records (and probably a few cowboy hats).
Since then, he’s been everywhere:
WRCB in Chattanooga
WTVD in Raleigh
WCHS in Charleston
WCNC in Charlotte
WSAV in Savannah
And finally, KTVQ in Billings, where he now carries the anchor torch.
He’s covered everything from hurricanes to presidential campaigns, crime scenes to championship games. He was even on the field when the Kansas City Royals clinched the World Series in 1985 — talk about front-row seats!
Russ Riesinger Off-Air Fun Facts
When he’s not reporting, Russ tries his hand at golf and piano — and admits he’s not quite Tiger Woods or Beethoven. He also has a soft spot for dogs, which makes him even more lovable.
Russ Riesinger Height
Russ stands at a respectable 5 feet 7 inches (just tall enough to command the anchor desk and reach the top shelf).
Family Life: The Real Power Behind the Anchor Desk
Russ is married to Amy, the Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yellowstone County. Together, they have four kids — though Russ keeps their lives private and paparazzi-free.
Salary
As a seasoned news anchor at KTVQ, Russ earns somewhere between $50,000 and $90,000 per year — not too shabby for a guy who used to spin country records.
Russ Riesinger Net Worth
With decades of journalism under his belt, Russ has an estimated net worth of $1 million to $3 million — proving news really can pay the bills (and then some).
