Hayden Robertson joins us as a news reporter after serving as a newscast producer for over a year.

Hayden grew up right outside of Lynchburg in the small town of Amherst. He graduated from Temple Christian School in 2013, and then went on to Liberty University. In 2017, Hayden graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism. While there, he was active with the Liberty Broadcast Experience where he applied what he learned in the classroom to real work on ESPN3, ESPNU, and ESPN+.

During his free time, Hayden enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with his friends and family. So far, Hayden has traveled to 13 different states and five different countries and is hoping to add more very soon. Some of his favorite hikes include Dragon’s Tooth, McAfee Knob, Mount Le Conte, and hiking to the Hollywood sign.

Hayden is looking forward to using his passion for telling different and powerful stories to show off how unique his hometown is and how to highlight his hometown that helped him grow so much.
