Over the past 24 years, M.G. has built a career defined by dynamic storytelling, strong community connections, and versatile newsroom leadership. His work has taken him to newsrooms in Austin, San Diego, Houston, San Francisco, and at WNBC-TV in New York City — one of the nation’s most competitive media markets.
Remarkably, M.G.’s broadcasting journey began at just 11 years old, when he served as a junior newscaster at KHTV in Houston. Station management featured young reporters delivering the news between cartoons and classic sitcoms — an early start that sparked a lifelong passion for journalism.
