Steven Rissotto is studying journalism and is in his fourth semester at Skyline. He enjoys watching sports — especially baseball, which he played in high school. When he’s not tracking an important story, he’s enjoying his time reading, binge watching shows, digging into a bag of popcorn, or hosting his podcast (RizzoCast). On the side, he covers the San Francisco Giants for SF Bay Media Associates. If you want to take the risk, you can follow him on Twitter @StevenRissotto.
