Leroy Kleimola, a news and sports reporter for the Miller Media Group in Taylorville, was named this week as the company's "Employee of the Quarter" for the first quarter of 2020.

Kleimola was selected by management and staff as the "Employee of the Quarter", and joined the company in April of this year.  In addition to being the station clusters' news reporter, he also does play-by-play and color for Taylorville sports.

He's been instrumental in leading the group's on-air and on-line coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in recent weeks.

Kleimola received a 100-dollar bonus from the company, and his name will be put into a drawing for a Florida trip which includes airfare and car rental.
