Dennis graduated from the University of Dayton (Ohio) and later earned his master’s degree from Syracuse University. He worked as a radio news and sports director at KODY-AM and KX104-FM in North Platte, Nebraska for two years. He moved to television in 1989 as a news anchor and later a sports anchor at KNOP-TV in North Platte, Nebraska, where he worked for six years.

Dennis teams with NEWS 5's talented videographers to bring viewers "A Day in the Heartland” on Tuesday nights on NEWS 5 at 6:00 and 10:00 p.m. and Wednesday mornings on NEWS 5 Today at 6:00 a.m. and News 5 at 11:30 a.m. “A Day in the Heartland” celebrates outstanding and unique individuals in Nebraska and Kansas. The stories have ranged from a man who started his own radio station in the basement of his home to a woman who created her town’s only library in her garage. The subjects of the stories have ranged from children as young as seven to senior citizens more than 100 years old. “There are as many great stories out there waiting to be told as there are great people waiting to tell them,” Dennis said. “I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to bring those stories to our viewers every week.”

When he’s not concentrating on work, Dennis enjoys spending time with his wife Jennifer and their family, Chelsey, Sean and Taylor. He also enjoys basketball, tennis and golf, reading and traveling.
