Gus Contreras was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and is a first-generation American with parents from Mexico. He’s a producer for All Things Considered at KERA in Dallas, TX.

A sports nut, he enjoys traveling and spending time with friends and family. When he’s not trying to cook Mexican food at home, Gus enjoys finding new taco places in North Texas. If the Dallas Cowboys or Arsenal FC are playing, you can usually find him glued to his tablet watching — that is, unless he’s working on a story.
