John Romero

Hi, I'm John Romero. I'm a long time television news reporter who has also worked in public relations and media relations.

  I am a hard working and energetic multimedia journalist who just wrapped up a contract at KOAA News 5 in Colorado Springs. For the past 5 years I have worked as a news reporter who works extensively in the field covering live and late breaking news. I started my journey at Metro State in Denver before moving to Casper, Wyoming and the NBC affiliate there. I’ve come full circle as a journalist and returned home to Colorado. Now I’m ready to take on the challenge of working in the communications field. I know given my extensive history of media experience I can make myself an essential piece of any team.
