About Steve

Since childhood, Steve has been passionate about informing people. By virtue of his father's military service, he was able to travel the country and beyond. Before college, he had written for five different publications (including an internationally-distributed magazine for children of military members) and worked at the American Forces Network, where he took to airwaves for the first time.

​

Steve's time at Indiana University-Bloomington eventually led him down the path of telling stories through video, allowing him to present by weaving combinations of visuals, sounds and words. Upon graduation with a BA in Journalism, he journeyed to Texas's Brazos Valley. For more than 12 years, he served as an anchor, reporter and producer for KBTX News, the region's CBS television affiliate. Over his tenure, he became one of the station's most recognizable and honored journalists. His reporting took him across the region and state, as well as to locations like the nation's capital, Belgium, and war-torn Afghanistan.

​

Upon stepping away from his TV career, Steve spent nearly five years helping craft the messaging for the Brazos Valley Economic Development Corporation. There, he and his teammates crafted compelling messaging to companies looking to launch, grow and locate in one of the state's key regions. The BVEDC's work, including its communications efforts, resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars invested and thousands of jobs created, and the organization won awards at the state and international levels.

​

Recruited by BlueForge Alliance, Steve went on to serve as the storyteller for the non-profit organization working with the U.S. Navy and the nation's manufacturing industry to supercharge shipbuilding in America. He and his teammates traveled the nation to showcase companies, academia and other organizations ensuring the next generation of Navy vessels, in part by encouraging people to find careers in skilled trades. This included work with a NASCAR team and one of the association's most visible sponsorships, a vehicle by which job opportunities and high-performing skilled tradespeople were spotlighted.

​

Steve lends his voice and talents to Texas A&M University in multiple capacities. He is the public address announcer for the Aggie volleyball and equestrian squads, the press box announcer for the football team, and a name reader at university commencement ceremonies. He also is on the microphone for Brazos Valley Bombers baseball, Brazos Christian School football and Lions Pride Sports professional wrestlingAmong his volunteer work in the community, he has served as Chairman of the Board and Campaign Chairman for United Way of the Brazos Valley, and he has hosted numerous community events.
