Aaron Ladd’s Biography

Aaron is originally from Stone Mountain, Georgia, but joined the 41 Action News team in April 2020 by way of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he worked as a digital Journalist for WMBF News in Myrtle Beach, reporting news, sports and working as a digital content producer on weekends.

He graduated from the prestigious University of Missouri School of Journalism with an emphasis in Sports Broadcast TV/Radio in 2018, and is a proud member of the ‘Mizzou Mafia’. Aaron is glad to return closer to his college stomping grounds.

While in school he worked as a reporter at KOMU 8, the NBC affiliate in Columbia, Missouri. Aaron is also a proud member of the National Association of Black Journalists and considers himself an ‘NABJ baby’, growing up around the organization and earning a national scholarship in 2014.

Aaron is a die-hard Atlanta sports fan (Braves, Falcons, Hawks) still licking his wounds from Superbowl LI. Going to games with his mom and dad as a child is what he believes helped fuel his passion for sports and storytelling.

Aaron is new to the Kansas City area and is always looking to try a new restaurant. So far, he is loving the KC culture and, of course, the BBQ.
His all-time favorite albums are: Late Registration, Kanye West; So Much Fun, Young Thug; Care for me, Saba; Awaken My Love, Childish Gambino.
