Ross DiMattei comes to CBS News Philadelphia from KTNV in Las Vegas, NV, where he anchored and reported for more than two years. He is most proud of his interview with then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, extensive reporting on Las Vegas' economic recovery from COVID-19, and breaking news coverage of George Floyd protests in Las Vegas, for which he won a Regional Emmy Award.
Before Las Vegas, Ross reported and anchored at WZVN in Fort Myers, FL, covering major natural disasters such as Hurricane Irma. His first job on air was at WENY in Elmira, NY.
Ross grew up near Boston but has long considered Philadelphia home. He graduated from Temple in 2014, where he studied journalism and hosted a sports talk show on Temple's student-run radio station, WHIP. He also worked at KYW Newsradio as a desk assistant and service aide.
Ross and his wife enjoy exploring Philly, traveling, cooking, and going on walks and hikes with their 5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Phil. Ross enjoys golfing, volunteering, and watching sports with friends. Ross couldn't be happier to be back in the city he loves most.
