Meet the Founder
Cheyne is a small-town Iowa native and a Hawkeye at heart. After nearly a decade in Indiana, including 12 years in media relations, communications, and broadcasting across minor league baseball, he came home to launch Get Iowa with a simple conviction: Iowa's news deserved a bigger stage.
He'd spent years writing Get Indiana's newsletters, blog coverage, and social content. Get Iowa brings that same playbook home: a blog with 16+ articles, a statewide newsletter, and a growing community of Iowans who share a love for the state.
“Every county in Iowa has a story worth telling. We're just making sure people actually hear them.”
— Cheyne Reiter, Founder
