Eric Burke

Reporter

Eric Burke joined the FOX 4 News Team in March 2002 as a general assignment reporter. After several years on the Breaking News beat, he's back on the streets covering a little bit of everything.

He started out studying business and pre-law at the University of Texas, Austin before deciding he would rather be in news. His career has taken him to stations in Midland, Texas; Waco, Texas; and Evansville, Indiana.

As a huge sports fan, he loves attending Royals and Chiefs games. Although he went to UT, nearly 10 years in Kansas rubbed off on him and he's become a KU fan.

Eric has two daughters, Jordyn and Kaitlyn.
