decades of engagement

I’ve been a public personality for over 20 years. Hear me on the radio, watch me on TV, or catch me in person speaking at a live event.

Drivetime with derusha

Get caught up on current events during your drive home. I host a radio show through WCCO from 3-6pm on the weekdays.

Radio host

I speak about a variety of topics with authenticity, compassion, and wit, inviting my audience to call in and participate in the discussion.

Event speaking

I emcee over 40 events every year, engaging the audience at fundraising galas, corporate events, awards ceremonies, and more.

After being a news anchor for WCCO for over 20 years, I’m no stranger to being in front of the camera and recording live.
