Hello.
My name is Alex Stewart.
​
If you are seeking a professional and experienced on-air sports anchor I am certain my writing expertise, enthusiasm for storytelling, and experience covering a wide range of sports make me a strong candidate to become a member of your team.
I have been working on-camera for over 5 years, and have built a solid reputation for myself as a reliable, hard working, and entertaining sports journalist, as well as an award-winning sports program host.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in sports journalism from University of Nevada Reno, a Masters degree in sports broadcasting from the Walter Cronkite school at Arizona State University, and a strong reel spanning all major sports including youth, college, and professional levels.
Additionally I have an in-depth understanding of the rules and nuances of each sport I cover, with a special emphasis on football. This enables me to deliver in-depth, accurate and effortless coverage and analysis.
Here are a few attributes I will bring to your team from my first day on the job:
| Top-notch writing ability
| Engaging delivery style
| Play by play experience
| Calm and effective under deadline pressure
| Able to quickly form bonds and relate to people
| At ease live in front of cameras and crowds
| Self-motivated and organized
| Confident and unafraid
| Excellent problem solving ability
| Lead by example
| Team player
On this website you will find my resume and reel. If you like what you see please reach out via email, text, or phone call. I would love to talk with you..
Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to discussing opportunities with you.
