Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking session with Dave Lewis, current co-anchor of Good Morning Reno on KOLO 8 News Now, the top-rated television station in the Reno market. After a 35-year broadcasting career in the San Francisco Bay Area—ranging from Top 40 disc jockey to sports anchor and Division I play-by-play announcer—Dave made a bold life change, moving to Reno to become a morning news anchor.
In this engaging talk, Dave shares stories from his dynamic career across five #1-ranked stations in major markets, including 21 years as evening sports anchor at KCBS San Francisco. He’ll reflect on his journey from high-energy radio to courtside commentary, covering NCAA Tournaments and even a Final Four. But beyond the professional highlights, Dave dives into the internal challenges—the self-doubt, fear, and inner voice that often hold us back from change.
Off the air, Dave is equally passionate. He’s a Dancing with the Tri-Valley Stars champion, an actor in independent films, and a personal trainer dedicated to Parkinson’s patients and adults with special needs.
This session is more than a career retrospective—it’s a candid look at reinvention, risk-taking, and the courage it takes to silence doubt and step into something new. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, seeking personal growth, or simply love a good behind-the-scenes story, Dave’s journey will motivate and move you.
