Jason Marks

Is the West Coast the best coast? As an East Coast resident for his entire life, Jason wanted to test the water of the West Coast.

Jason comes to KCRA as an award-winning reporter. He is honored to have been presented eight Regional Emmy Awards, an Edward R. Murrow award and several Virginia Association of Broadcasters and Virginia Associated Press awards.

Most recently, Jason worked at WAVY TV 10 in Virginia. He covered a variety of stories, from the tragedy at Virginia Tech to every hurricane to hit northeast North Carolina over the last decade. He also spent more than a year investigating a Chesapeake OB-GYN who was found guilty of performing unnecessary surgeries on his patients. The work was highlighted as part of a 10-part docu-series called “The Patients vs. Perwaiz.”

Before working at WAVY Jason spent time at WHNT in Huntsville, Ala., and WBBJ in Jackson, Tenn.

A native of Virginia Beach, Jason is a graduate of Virginia Wesleyan College, where he was on the baseball team. He is a life-long fan of the Atlanta Braves.

Though he enjoyed his time on the East Coast, he is looking forward to exploring what the West Coast has to offer.

In his spare time, you can find Jason and his wife going for a jog or riding their bikes. You’ll also find him trying to wrangle in his two small sons.
