Steratore grew up around the profession, because his father was a referee the Big East when it was formed in 1980. Following close behind his dad, Steratore refereed his first basketball game with the YMCA in Uniontown when he was 13. From there, Steratore officiated church leagues, varsity and finally, colleges. He started officiating NCAA basketball in 1997 and worked in the Big Ten, Atlantic-10 and Big East conferences. After joining the NFL, he continued to referee college basketball, spending 22 years in the profession. Sometimes, he would officiate both sports during the same week.

In the NFL, he started as a field judge before being promoted to referee in 2006. He served as alternate referee for Super Bowl 44 and referee for Super Bowl 52.

Steratore will share some of his experiences as a referee. He will also relate lessons he鈥檚 learned in his profession, such as dealing with pressurized situations, balancing his work and personal life, and choosing healthy habits.

When Steratore retired from both sports in 2018, he joined CBS Sports and enhances the coverage of college football, college basketball and the NFL. Away from the world of sports, Steratore is the co-owner of Steratore Sanitary Supply in Washington, Pa., with his brother, NFL back judge Tony Steratore. The brothers founded the company in 1988 and currently supply janitorial products to over 300 companies.
