While Steven may be new to Texas, he's not new to the South.

Steven is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in broadcast journalism. While at LSU he wrote for The Daily Reveille and hosted a weekly news show on KLSU. He has also interned with The Daily Caller in Washington, D.C.

In addition to tracking down the stories that matter to Texoma, he's a musician, coffee enthusiast, and sports fanatic (don't be alarmed if he drops a "Who Dat" or "Geaux Tigers" every now and then).
