Ruben Galvan

Features Reporter

Ruben is so thankful and blessed to finally be back in his hometown. As a kid, Ruben dreamed of working in Houston and now he has the opportunity to feature some of the most fascinating people and places in the world. You can count on him to highlight the best H-town has to offer.

A graduate of the University of Houston and Northbrook High School, Ruben is a family kind of guy with a great sense of humor. He loves Tex-Mex fajitas and can dance with the best of them thanks to watching 'Soul Train' as a child. When he's not shaking hands in the community, he enjoys spending time with his Mom and Dad who both still keep him in check. By the way, church is in order every Sunday.
