Rory Bredlow grew up in Ravenwood, Missouri. Ravenwood is a rural town in Northwestern Missouri. Rory is the youngest of three with an older brother and sister. Growing up, Rory loved to play baseball with his friends. His hometown loves baseball, and he grew up around the sport his entire life. When he was young, he and his friends would get together nearly every night to play baseball at the local ball diamonds. Since he is from a small town, the whole town would come down and watch the kids play. At home, Rory is a proud owner of a bearded dragon named Sandor. His dragon’s name was inspired by one of his characters on Game of Thrones, which is also his favorite show. 

He graduated from Northeast Nodaway High School in 2020 with a class of only 13. Like others who graduated during the pandemic, Rory was nervous about the future and how things may play out for his career. He is studying mass communications and sports broadcasting. After graduating from Morningside, Rory plans of moving to the west coast to start his sports broadcasting career as a play-by-play broadcaster. He dreams of making it to the big leagues to broadcast professional baseball. Luckily, the pandemic is beginning to lighten up and he has high hopes and dreams for his future in sports broadcasting. His favorite baseball team has always been the Seattle Mariners.

Rory has always had passions for baseball, band, and track and field. He was fortunate enough to continue his passions by playing in the drumline and competing in the long jump for Morningside University. In Rory’s free time he enjoys spending quality time with his friends, listening to a variety of music, and playing numerous video games. His favorite video game is Diablo 3. Rory and his older brother would play the game and ever since then, he fell in love with the gaming series.
