Hall of Fame
Steve Rudnicki was a part of the Oceanside Collegiate Academy family almost from the very start. When the school opened in Mt. Pleasant for the 2017-18 school year, he was recommended by a friend to administrators as someone with a background in game operations. He met with school officials, and the rest is history.
“That first season I was involved with football and basketball,” Rudnicki said. “Over the last eight years I have been the ‘Voice of the Landsharks’ for those sports as well as boys’ and girls’ volleyball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse and baseball.”
In addition to broadcasting games for those teams, he has also worked with both soccer teams, the softball team and has served as the host or in other roles as needed by the OCA family.
A native of Cheektowaga, NY, near Buffalo, Rudnicki got his start in the Athletics Communications office at Canisius University in Buffalo. He worked there for 12 years, earning a master’s degree in Sport Administration, before making the move to Charleston where he worked at the College of Charleston and at The Citadel.
He left the grind of college athletics in 2012 but stayed in Charleston. He spent time as the Associate Director of Marketing for the National Golf Course Owners Association and now serves as the Director of Marketing and Operations at Atlantic Bedding & Furniture.
