Early life and education

Almaguer was born in Oakland, California, and raised in Berkeley, California.[1][2] He attended Berkeley High School.[3] He was a student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, but left after his sophomore year and subsequently attended a community college in his hometown.[1] While there, his aunt, a news anchor in the San Francisco Bay Area, recommended that he look into taking a class being taught by her co-anchor at San Francisco State University (SFSU). Almaguer enrolled at the school and years later said he "fell in love with the broadcasting department, my classes, and my local news internship... I still remember being a college intern... sitting in a local newsroom and watching the buzz and energy in the room."[1] He graduated with high honors from SFSU with a degree in broadcast communications.[2]

Career

Almaguer began his television career with KSBW in Salinas, California, in 2000. In 2003, he became a reporter for KCRA-TV in Sacramento. He then joined WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., in 2006 as a general assignment reporter covering breaking news. On April 2, 2009, Almaguer was hired as a Burbank, California-based correspondent with NBC News to report for all of the network's divisions, including NBC Nightly News, Today, and MSNBC.[2]

In 2004, Almaguer won an Edward R. Murrow Award for Spot News. He earned an Emmy Award for his reporting on the 2007 San Diego wildfires. He also received awards from the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.[2]

gollark: Is anyone available as a catcher in about two hours?
gollark: Here's version 1.8 of the DragonCave Egg Time Finder Firefox addon. Changes: it starts minimized by default because I realized the UI was actually pretty big, and I got rid of some debugging code which snuck into the build by accident. I'm pretty sure all the actual logic should work the same, but do mention it if there are any issues.EDIT: Please note that if you have queries or need support you should probably ping me; I'm not very active here so I won't see random references to problems and such but will be able to respond directly quite fast.
gollark: Oh, is that the "fix" to the, er, fogball issue?
gollark: Well, it might fall under that bit, but that seems to basically just be a bludgeon against stuff TJ09 disagrees with.
gollark: Important notices with it: it's not that accurate, please manually check after using it; it *might* be (probably isn't, hopefully) against the rules; it works in Firefox, untested elsewhere.
