Steven Verdile

Steven is the creator and editor-in-chief of The Squeaky Wheel. He lives in New York City with his girlfriend, spending his mornings drinking iced coffee and his evenings binging television and seeing musicals. An advocate for authentic representation in media, he created The Squeaky Wheel to amplify disabled voices and bring humor to the nuances of living with a disability.
