Kerry Sanders is retiring after 32 years at NBC News.
The correspondent appeared today Tuesday during a segment looking back on his career.
Sanders lives in Florida, but his work as a correspondent has taken him around the world. He said he travels about 200 days a year. “What will I miss the most? At the end of the day, it’s about the camaraderie and family because it’s a daily, energizing experience,” he said.
Sanders was a reporter at NBC affiliate WTVJ in Miami when he joined the network in 1991.
Sanders continued Today, “My wife, Deborah, was a big supporter, but we kind of sat there and said, ‘Now might be the right time,’ because during the pandemic, as you all know, we’re not going anywhere, and we realize we are fine. always good together, so maybe we should do it now.”
Sanders reported major hurricanes in the state and region, including Hurricane Andrew and Hurricane Katrina. He also covered the Parkland school shooting and the death of Trayvon Martin, as well as political stories such as the Florida narrative in 2000. He reported from the ground in Iraq while serving with the US Marines embedded after the 2003 US invasion by reporting teams that have won numerous Emmys and Peabodys, as well as awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Headliner Award, among others. His coverage of a military coup in Haiti in 1994 won a Columbia duPont Award.
