When asked about living on the Central Coast, Reger replied, "I'm at the best station in a fantastic community. I live at the beach and I get to work with real professionals. How can it get any better?"

An avid adventure traveler, Reger has visited more than 90 countries, seen the "Wonders of the World," and climbed some of the world's largest mountains. He is fluent in Spanish and speaks Japanese, plays several musical instruments, loves to backpack and surf, and is always up for a good game of hoops.
