Wayne Segal, director of public affairs for the city of Boynton Beach

He has worked in Boynton since March 2000.
He loves to travel and is planning a trip to Seattle.
Growing up, he always knew he wanted to something in communications.

What is the one aspect of your position you like the most?

“Communicating to the citizens of Boynton Beach exactly what the city is doing. That is why I love social media so much.”

What do you do during a regular day?

“Right now we are working on an 18-minute spot on the TV about utilities.”

How did you get into this line of work?

“It started as a hobby in high school. We had a short wave radio club. Not that young people know what short waves are.”

What do you see in your future?

“I want to see where the social media takes me. That is what the job is going to morph into.”
