Fidel is a reporter and fill-in weather anchor for the NBC Las Vegas News 3 team. He graduated from Fresno State with a degree in Criminology and a minor in Mass Communications and Journalism. He is currently completing his Meteorology studies at Pennsylvania State University.
Before arriving in Las Vegas, Fidel was the weekday morning anchor at our sister station, CBS4/KFOX14, in El Paso, Texas. Some of his most memorable coverage includes the border immigration crisis, President Biden's visit to El Paso, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Fidel has done it all in the newsroom, serving as a multimedia journalist, weather forecaster, anchor, and producer. Fidel’s passion for journalism dates back to his high school days when he began hosting the first-ever broadcast on his campus. This enthusiasm continued into college, leading him to internships with his local public access television station, CMAC, and another internship at KFSN-ABC30 as part of the Disney Internship Program.
Born and raised in California’s Central Valley, Fidel speaks both English and Spanish fluently. He is eager to begin his next chapter in Las Vegas and explore the Silver State. In his free time, he enjoys running, cycling, reading, and hiking. Be sure to say hello if you run into him—he is talkative and loves meeting new people.
