A St. Louis, Mo. native, Menley is an award-winning sports and news journalist who brings 20-plus years of experience in the broadcast and video production field. At Missouri Western, he created an innovative athletic video production department from scratch as he was responsible for all video content creation, including highlights, commercials, hype videos and feature stories.

Menley oversaw and directed live video board production and live broadcasts while also taking on an administrative role, serving as Senator for Missouri Western's Staff Association Senate. He was an adjunct professor in the university's department of communications and was also a co-advisor for MWSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, helping raise tens of thousands of dollars for community service projects.
In addition to his experience at the collegiate level, Menley worked in the sports media field for 15 years. He was a radio color analyst for ESPN 1550 AM in St. Joseph for five years after spending a decade in the television business. He served as the sports director at KQTV in St. Joseph from 2002-10 and was a sports producer for KSDK-TV in St. Louis from 2000-02.
In the span of seven years, Menley won six National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA) digital video content awards. He was the 2020-21 Service to the University Award recipient at Missouri Western and was also the Griffons' SOAR Advisor of the Year honoree that same year. In his sports media role, he received four Emmy Awards and was a three-time winner of the Missouri Broadcasters Award for feature reporting.
Menley attended Maryville University, where he was a baseball student-athlete while majoring in English education.
