Mark Steines was born on June 7, 1967, in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. He attended the University of Northern Iowa on a football scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in radio and television. His early experiences in athletics helped cultivate his discipline and work ethic, qualities that would later define his multifaceted career.
Steines began his professional media career at KWWL-TV in Waterloo, Iowa, working initially as a reporter and photographer. Before that, he held a minor position at KWWI-TV. His breakthrough came during his time at KWWL, where he garnered attention for his dedication and on-camera presence.
Over the years, Mark built an impressive résumé working at several high-profile media outlets, including KSPR-TV, KCAL-TV, ESPN, Entertainment Tonight, and AOL. His tenure at KCAL-TV was particularly notable; he earned two Emmy Awards for his work on the specials “Beyond Endurance: Madagascar” and “Beyond Endurance: Borneo.”
Among his many interviews, one of Steines’ earliest and most memorable was with President George H. W. Bush during his time at KWWL-TV. An anecdotal moment from that assignment revolves around a miscommunication: while trying to gain clearance for the interview, Mark jokingly remarked, “I am here to shoot the president,” referencing filming, which briefly caused alarm and delayed the interview.

These include appearances in popular TV series such as “Suddenly Susan,” “The Practice,” “CSI: NY,” “Half & Half,” “The Young and the Restless,” and the animated children’s show “Handy Manny.” He also had a role in the 1995 biographical film “Nixon,” which depicted the life of former U.S. President Richard Nixon.
By 2015, Steines had earned three Emmy Awards and was serving as host of “Home & Family,” a lifestyle and talk show on The Hallmark Channel. The program, aimed at family audiences, showcases Mark’s versatility as a TV anchor and his comfort in both serious journalism and light-hearted, home-oriented entertainment content.
Physically, Mark Steines maintains an active and health-conscious lifestyle. Standing six feet tall, he began incorporating ten-minute daily exercise routines into his schedule four years prior to 2015. He credits this consistent regimen, along with controlled eating habits—opting for multiple small meals throughout the day—for his well-maintained health and fitness.
