Gary Striewski ‘10, Journalism | Host | ESPN
Gary Striewski launched his broadcast career making public-address announcements at Thornton Middle School. Today, the 2010 journalism graduate finds himself living out his childhood dream as a host at ESPN. During his time at MSU Denver, he worked with Met Media and interned at Fox affiliate KDVR with sports anchor Chris Tanaka. Following graduation, Striewski cut his TV teeth at the CBS affiliate in Cheyenne, Wyoming; earned an Emmy for his work as a Red Sox sideline reporter at New England Sports Network; and woke up at 2:30 a.m. to co-host the nationally syndicated morning show "Morning Dose." In 2018, ESPN came calling, looking for help with their newly launched SportsCenter Snapchat program. Striewski credits being open to opinions and coaching, honing a unique voice, never saying no to an opportunity and earning his degree at MSU Denver as factors in his success.
