Ben Handelman WITI 6
Handelman is proud to call Milwaukee’s east side his home. His journey brought him out of the woods of Connecticut, and through some of our country’s largest farm fields in Illinois before finding a home in the brew city!
Handelman was born and raised in northwest Connecticut and graduated from Quinnipiac University (GO BOBCATS!). He always desired to be a professional storyteller which assisted him to land his first job at ABC affiliate WICS in Springfield, Illinois. Handelman got a promotion and was sent to sister station WICD in Champaign, Illinois where he met his wife. At the time he was a reporter for the competition.
Currently, he can be seen anchoring weekend evening newscasts and reporting for FOX6 news at nine and ten throughout the week. In his time here he has covered some of Wisconsin’s biggest stories from the Sikh Temple and Azana Salon shootings to the unrest in Sherman Park in 2016. He was privileged to walk with Brett Favre during his return to Lambeau Field and helped push cars stuck in the snow during several Wisconsin winters.
Furthermore, he has been sent across the country where he has seen the destruction of an F-5 tornado in Oklahoma and the heartbreak left behind following the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. He saw the resilience of officers who had to head back to work after five of their coworkers were killed in Dallas, and have stood feet away from Air Force One for two different presidents.
He has received recognition from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, and the Milwaukee Press Club.
During his leisure time, you can often find Ashley and him jogging along the lakefront or attending one of the million festivals in our great home city.
