John Pirsos – Media Relations Specialist
John has always had a passion for news and current events, which led him into a career as a TV news broadcaster. He worked as an anchor and reporter for the CBS affiliate in Watertown, New York, before taking on the same duties at WVLT in Knoxville. John’s extensive work in newsrooms across different regions of the country, covering a variety of topics, helps him manage different clients and secure the exposure they deserve.
John is a New Jersey native, studied journalism at Seton Hall University, and got his master’s in communications from New York Institute of Technology. But now, he and his girlfriend are happy to call East Tennessee home.
When John isn’t at work, he likes to stay active and exercise, watch sports, and listen to music. He and his girlfriend also love spending time with their three pets, Gus, a frisbee-addict bulldog/terrier; Willow, a big orange fluffy cat; and George, a sweater-loving Sphynx.
