Steve Hartman is an American journalist and broadcaster who was born on April 14, 1963, in Toledo, Ohio. Harman attended the Bowling Green State University where he obtained a broadcast journalism degree in 1985. During his final year at university, Hartman worked as an intern and general assignment reporter for WTOL in Toledo, Ohio but he later moved to KSTP in Minneapolis from 1987 to 1991. As his career progressed, Hartman moved around the country joining WABC-TV in New York City in 1991 and then KCBS-TV in Los Angeles in 1994. He eventually started his own feature series called "Everybody Has a Story", an idea he got from newspaper reporter David Johnson of the "Lewiston Morning Tribune" in Idaho.
His first iteration of the show began as "Public Eye" and he would toss a dart at random onto a map of the United States and travel to where it landed. He would then pick up a phone book and choose a name at random to try and tell that person's story. Hartman's reports even made it to the "CBS Evening News With Katie Couric". He has won two Edward R. Murrow Awards for his work in the CBS Evening News and three of his stories won in the Best Writing category. He has also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Feature Story in a Newscast. Hartman married his wife Andrea and the couple went on to have three children. The family currently resides in Catskill, New York.
