Brody Heidemann, Broadcast Editor

Brody Heidemann is a senior at Gretna East and this is his second year on the Wingspan staff, but his third year doing online journalism. He was a reporter during his time at Gretna High and is now the Broadcast Editor here at Gretna East.

During his high school journalism career, he was a part of the State Champion team last year as well as a third-place medalist in Newspaper Column Writing, Sports News and a fifth-place medalist in Opinion Writing. This year, he is hoping to break the bronze streak and return to the State competition to win gold.

Heidemann joined journalism because of his love for sports. He loves writing about sports, talking about sports, asking questions about sports and practically anything involving sports. Because of this passion, he is doing an internship at 1620 The Zone this year.

Some of his other hobbies include hanging out with friends, playing video games, swimming and spending time with his family.
