My Story
Steven first fell in love with broadcast television when he joined his high school's broadcast journalism class called EaglEye in Apple Valley, Minnesota. He would spend three years in that program, alongside four years in Technical theater, where he was the main audio technician his senior year. His two passions for broadcast TV and technical theater lead him to choose to continue his education at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota, for its excellent award-winning and accredited broadcast journalism program. Steven got involved with UTVS on his first day of school. Throughout his time at UTVS, Steven was given the opportunity to anchor multiple newscasts, create volunteer reporter packages, run multiple production crew positions, help lead a volunteer team to produce newscasts over the summer, and would become News Director. Steven was a vital part of the UTVS team to produce newscasts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides his involvement with UTVS and Husky Productions, Steven was also an in-house production crew member for St. Cloud State University Athletics, where he was a camera operator, robocam operator, technical director, and in-game editor. Throughout his five years at St. Cloud State University, Steven fell in love with broadcast journalism and is excited to grow his skills in the professional setting.
When Steven is not busy in the news or control room, he loves to go on bike rides, listen to music, walk his dogs, and drive. He is also developing a desire to paddle board and kayak across the beautiful 10,000 lakes Minnesota has to offer.
