WAYNE & SHAUNA ARE THE ULTIMATE NEWS ANCHOR TEAM IN STUMPTOWN. THIS DUO COULD VERY WELL BE THE BEST CHEMISTRY ON AIR IN THE HISTORY OF PDX TV NEWS. WAYNE STARTED AS A DISC JOCKEY AND SPORTS ANNOUNCER IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. WAYNE HAS THAT REAL YOUNG LOOK BUT HAS BEEN IN BROADCASTING THIRTY YEARS WINNING EMMYS ALONG THE WAY! HERE ARE MY 10 QUESTIONS FOR WAYNE GARCIA!
#1: Favorite local restaurant?
Tough. Rheinlander would be up there but probably Fire on the Mountain. Incredible wings, great beer, who needs more?
#2: Last book read?
I constantly read travel books.. the last one I read was on Baja California. Or was it Thailand. Lonely Planet are my fav.
#3: Favorite TV show (other than the 10:00 news of course!)
24. Boo that it’s over. College football would be next in line.
#4: What is always in Wayne's fridge?
Sriracha Sauce, string cheese, Bridgeport IPA.
#5: Favorite web site to visit (other than the stump of course!)
Steapandcheap.com, twitter
#6: Person most interested in meeting dead or alive?
That’s easy… Jimmy Buffett. I’ve been a Parrothead since about 1977.
#7: What would readers be surprised to know about you Wayne?
I was born in a car, can play a little guitar, and can make some mean crepes.
#8: Hobby?
Working on my VW buses… (yes I have two 1979 buses, don’t call them vans) and watching Timbers soccer and Aztec Football. (As in San Diego State.) And camping.
#9: Favorite vacation spot?
It’s so unimaginative, but I always have a great time in Hawaii.
#10: Disappointing celeb encounter?
Elton John. Actually Elton was nice, but his people weren’t who scolded me for interviewing him 30 minutes after I’d finished.
Wayne & Shauna do a fab job on the news. Portland is lucky to have them.
