Steve HodgesGrowing up outside of Philadelphia, PA, I found a passion for media at an early age.
My Mother was a respected fashion show producer, and my Father was a writer and "Ad-Man"; I was often involved in promotional events and wild experiences! I attended North Penn High School, and they offered TV production (unusual at that time). There was a radio station right next door, WNPV 1440 where a family friend was an on-air icon. My theater program at the time was unmatched. Somewhere in that blend of influences, I discovered a gift for media and production; radio, TV, and dramatic work; plus promotions and design. I attended Kutztown University and studied Broadcasting and Journalism. Some of my teachers and peers from then are still dear friends, and have shaped my professional career. I later continued my studies at schools including University of Hartford, CCSU, and others. With experience in Radio, TV, and sound studios; major live broadcast events, parades and telethons; scores of radio and TV commercials; and other video's, I now teach students to create the messages they need to learn the craft. I've been a professional teacher since 1996. Now, I teach Television Production, Graphic Design, and Photography at The Gilbert School, in Winsted, CT. In addition to high and middle school, I have also taught Advanced TV Production at Capital Community College in Hartford, CT. |
