Email: mdrayer@wcmh.com

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 NBC 4 Today Weekend Edition with Marshall McPeek.

"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 NBC 4 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 NBC 4, Mindy worked for WYTV ABC33 in Youngstown, Ohio, as an anchor/reporter for two years; WLIO-TV in Lima, Ohio, as an anchor/reporter for three years; and WDLR-TV in Delaware, Ohio, as an anchor/reporter for nearly 18 months.

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

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