About Marco
Hello, I’m Marco Benitez. I work in Promotions and take out the trash for iHeartMedia Wichita. You can hear my voice on commercials, at the gas pump, and in my neighborhood telling the local street youths to stay off my lawn. I grew up in the Bay Area, where I learned a love for professional sports. I’m a loyal Oakland Athletics fan, but I’ve adopted the Chiefs as my favorite football team. I married my high school sweetheart, and we have two kids. I can’t remember their names though. I’m a graduate of Wichita State, and I think Gregg Marshall can walk on water. I enjoy local craft beer, and I visit our local breweries as much as I can. My favorite food is pizza, but if my grandmother made enchiladas every day, I would have no reason to eat anything else. However, I can’t eat any of it now since I’ve been on the keto diet since Jan. 2019. I enjoy being active (at least I tell myself that because I don’t want the dad bod anymore), and I take pride in being active in the community. If you have 10 hours to spare, I’d love to tell you about Nomar and the rich history of Wichita’s north end.
