Steve went to Clearfield High School and graduated from Penn State University.  He began his career with WTAJ in the spring of 2003.  Steve started working as Bureau Chief and Reporter for the Clearfield Region.  He worked out of the WTAJ office in Dubois. 

Steve left WTAJ in June of 2007 to work at Penn State Dubois.  He is the public information officer.  He still deals with the media, but now it’s from the other side.  Instead of tracking people down for interviews, Steve is the one being bombarded for information.  “It’s been a lot different.  The pace here is different.  The style of work and writing I do is different,” Steve says.

Steve says he enjoys the work that does now, but there are times he would like to chase down leads, sources and break stories.  “There are a lot of days where I miss going out and especially those days where I turn on the TV and see they’re covering breaking news.”  Steve says sometimes when he watches WTAJ NEWS he does miss the old job, “When I see Erin Calandra covering breaking news on my old beat, I get a little jealous.”

But most of the time Steve says he likes Penn State Dubois, “I’ve certainly embraced something I certainly enjoy doing.”   

Steve reminisced at the end of the interview that the best part about reporting was coming into work everyday, having no idea what kinds of stories he would cover that day.
