Scott McGrew

Scott McGrew covers business and technology on NBC Bay Area’s weekday morning news program, Today in the Bay.

Scott McGrew thrives at the intersection of entrepreneurship and venture capital.  He is host of Press:Here, a weekly roundtable features world class technology reporters in conversation with Silicon Valley CEOs.  Press:Here airs on NBC Bay Area Sunday mornings at 9am and on cable in Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Dallas, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City.  Joining Scott each week is a team of contributors including reporters from the BBC, Forbes, Fortune, Wired, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Scott also reports on technology and money during business reports on KNBR 680 in San Francisco.  He also contributes to the John Batchelor show on WABC AM in New York City.
Scott was the first journalist to reveal the crimes behind the combat death of a South Bay Marine and the only reporter in the world allowed to fly F-16 Combat Air Patrol as part of Operation Enduring Freedom following 9/11.

He's been an eyewitness to a firing squad and chased greased pigs at the Iowa State Fair. Scott is an active speaker on technology and television at Stanford, Brigham Young and other universities as well as numerous conferences.

He is also a regular emcee and host for the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year, the Global CleanTech Forum, United Way, Juvenile Diabetes and the Cornerstone Project.

Scott is a part-time Cessna 172 pilot, MIG and TIG welder, CSS coder and a lector in the Episcopal Church. None of which he does very well, he claims, but he says he's trying.

He lives in the South Bay with his wife and two sons.
