Tony Geftos - 13abc.com Toledo (OH) News, Weather and Sports

Hi everybody! Thanks for visiting my bio page.

I suppose you're here for some behind-the-scenes tidbits, so here goes …

 -   I once delivered mail for a summer.

-   My cat weighs more than 20 pounds.

-   I play alto sax and was in the WMU Bronco Marching Band.

-   My two kids are adorable (but a handful).

-   I save the comics section for last.

-   My wife is adorable (but a handful).

-   I can't wait to get a new car.

-   And I love watching 13abc!

O.K., so that last one wasn't exactly behind-the scenes. I'm trying, though.

Here's the formal stuff:

I've worked at WTVG since June of 2000, including two years in the Findlay bureau. Prior to that, I was at KKFX in Santa Barbara, CA and KGWC in Casper, WY. I was also an interpretive park ranger at the Silent City of Rocks in Idaho.

During my time at 13abc, I've received 4 Emmy nominations, two of them for "Tony & Todd's Roadside Attractions." Most recently, I was given the 2011 Medium-Market award for "Best Reporter" and "Best Breaking News" from the Ohio Associated Press. I am also now a board member.

One last tid-bit:

 -   I'm training to be a jedi. Shhhh.

May the force be with you.
