Mindy Drayer .... still there

Sunday mornings I generally watch her on TV, why, she is one constant in my life .... almost everything else changes, not Mindy ..... she has stayed the same for all these years. Buildings are torn down, new ones are built, changes, changes, changes, not Mindy, she is the same, one of the few things in my life, from my past that has not changed. Everyone else has either retired, changed jobs, or retired .....

Mindy Drayer says that she has the best of both worlds. During the week she is a stay-at-home mother. On weekends she anchors NBC4Today Weekend Edition with Harrison Hove.

"I only work the weekend mornings so I can stay home all week with my children," Drayer said. "I love being a stay-at-home mom. There's nothing more important."

Drayer, who has been with NBC4 since 1998, said that her most memorable story covered with Ohio State's thrilling win over Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

An Ohio State graduate, Drayer loves following OSU football and high school basketball.

Prior to her employment at NBC4, Mindy worked for WYTV ABC33 in Youngstown, OH, as an anchor/reporter for two years; WLIO-TV in Lima, OH, as an anchor/reporter for three years; and WDLR-TV in Delaware, OH, as an anchor/reporter for nearly 18 months.

Her very first job was selling lemon shakes at the Ohio State Fair.

Mindy, a Westerville, native, resides in Westerville with her husband, son and daughter and enjoys walking her dogs, playing softball and tennis, and chasing her children.
