At a young age, Hugo picked up the habit of listening to KMUW from his father. After years of being a loyal listener, he signed up to be a KMUW volunteer and joined the station's college student group. He transitioned from volunteer to digital assistant in May 2013.

Working at the station has given him a fresh perspective on Wichita, helping him to embrace and find pride in his own hometown. He’s been a volunteer with the Tallgrass Film Association for more than seven years and has served in the role of Box Office Coordinator for two years.
