He and several other students are credited with starting an after-school extracurricular television broadcasting program at the DuBois Area Middle School. The program has evolved to become a live morning news broadcast.

Roush studied Journalism and Communication Arts and Sciences at the Penn State University from 2000 to 2004. In addition to earning admission to the Schreyer Honors College, he was President of the local chapter of Kappa Tau Alpha honor society in Journalism. He earned a William Randolph Hearst Award for Excellence in student Journalism.

Roush worked as an intern with NY1 in New York City from January to June 2004 before starting with WJAC-TV a month later.

In his spare time, Roush is a performing stage hypnotist and close-up card magician. He is an active member of the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia national music fraternity. He also serves as a contributing author to the fraternity's national alumni publication, "The Sinfonian."
