Jeff Lasky is an award-seeking journalist (only true comedy nerds will pick up that deep cut reference) and the ultimate "utility player" for ABC 10News in San Diego.
Jeff plugs into almost every newsroom role at 10News in both news and sports. You'll frequently see him out in the field as a news reporter and filling in as the sports anchor.
Jeff covers several beats around the county, including around his home base in the inland North County, the Poway Unified School District, where his two children attend, the San Diego tourism industry, the county's world-class theme parks and the San Diego Zoo, as well as issues involving local utilities.
Even when you're not seeing Jeff on your screen, you're likely seeing his work. Jeff is also a news producer and writer, frequently filling in as the producer for 10News at 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11.
All of these many roles have one thing in common: Jeff is a natural storyteller.
Before moving to ABC 10News full-time, he did double-duty in radio, serving as a host/reporter/and play-by-play broadcaster for Mighty 1090. Jeff was the sideline reporter and pre/half/post-game host for San Diego State football and men's basketball, as well as working as the update anchor for Padres baseball broadcasts. He also covered the Padres as a television feature reporter/producer for Fox Sports San Diego.
Before coming to San Diego, Jeff spent seven years as a sports play-by-play broadcaster in minor league baseball and college sports. He was the voice of California League affiliates for the Mariners, Diamondbacks, Red Sox and Astros, while simultaneously serving as the voice of the Montana State University football and men's basketball teams.
Jeff is originally from Northridge and graduated from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University.
