Childhood days
He trained in baseball when he was in middle school. He grew up outside New York. Hence, the father-son duo bonded over ‘Yankee’ games. However, they now bond over beer and golf.
He has always acknowledged his father’s role in shaping his career as a news correspondent.
He believes all of Steve’s pieces of advice are “invaluable” to him, and the way Steve had initially exposed him to the industry had been tremendously beneficial to him.
Steve was exposed to the newsroom for the first time during a ‘Take Your Child to Work Day’ event when he was just 4. It was his first experience on network TV.
The exposure helped him understand the kind of dedication required for the job. On his first day at work, Steve advised him to always keep his sleeves rolled up, as that would create an impression that he was busy.
In 2018, he surprised Steve with a Father’s Day gift while he was reporting live from the ‘White House.’ He gifted his father a pack of business cards of John Robert, the 17th chief justice of the US.
He once had an accident while having a lawn-mower ride with Steve, as a child. Since then, the father-son duo bonded on lawn-mower rides, much to Kathy’s chagrin.
