Vincent Nguyen was a sports reporter for The Times Community News/North – the Burbank Leader, Glendale News-Press and the La Canada Valley Sun.
He currently covers high school sports for the Southern California News Group in the San Gabriel Valley — going on five years now.
He graduated from Cal State Northridge and was the sports editor for the school’s student publication, the Sundial.
A proud Pasadena native, Nguyen says he bathes in gallons of coffee and swims in a pool of Yerba mate on a daily basis.
