Terry McSweeney is a San Francisco native who has come home to the Bay Area to do what he loves to do, where he loves to do it.

Terry graduated from St. Ignatius High, attended U.C. Berkeley, and graduated from San Francisco State University in 1981 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. His career has taken him all over the country, with stops at KTXL in Sacramento, KNTV in San Jose, WPBF in West Palm Beach and KSAZ in Phoenix, just to name a few. Before moving back to the Bay Area in 2006, Terry spent six years anchoring the 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts at the ABC affiliate in Albany, New York. In his 27 years in the news business, he has covered snow storms in New York and Lake Tahoe, hurricanes in Florida, the monsoon in Arizona and the Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Cosco Busan oil spill.

Terry has been honored with two Edward R. Murrow Awards for his reporting at KNTV in San Jose and was named "Best Anchor" by the Albany Times-Union newspaper.

He loves rock music, and has seen the Rolling Stones in concert 15 times.

Terry is also a 49ers fan and a San Francisco Giants fanatic, having attended close to 300 Giants games. On the weekend, you can find Terry watching his sons play sports, or jogging somewhere in Marin County.
