How Ya Doin'?
Born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey, Steve comes from a big ol' Italian family. The kind where dinner is always the most important thing of the day.
It was either the summer thunderstorms, where Steve and his Grandpa Joe would watch from the front porch, or Bill Paxton in the movie Twister that sparked an interest in the weather.
Steve is currently a Meteorologist in Jacksonville, Florida, where he works to bring an upbeat, positive attitude to forecasting and storytelling. More often than not you'll find him using his Italian roots to make weather, and science, relatable. His forecasts usually come with a side of Frank Sinatra & a hot cup of espresso.
After receiving a Bachelor's of Science in Meteorology from Penn State in 2015, Steve spent two years on the Central Coast of California. It's out west where he got a crash course in storytelling.
Now, in addition to forecasting, you'll find him doing a little bit of everything. Editing, writing stories, shooting video, live in the field, producing weather specials, traffic duties, you name it.
Outside of the weather center, you'll find Steve in the kitchen, cooking up some of his Grandma Sadie's recipes, paddling out in the waves, or sitting back with his guitar and a few Jimi Hendrix vinyls.
