Bobby Wagner, Managing Editor

Bobby Wagner is the Managing Editor for the Washington Square News. He’s from Philly, much like his icon, Meek Mill. You can catch him yelling abhorrent things about Mets opponents into his grainy dorm room TV or queuing up a sandwich from the Palladium Deli. Clearly, he enjoys the finer things in life. Once, former Assistant Managing Editor John Ambrosio described him as “a bro, but with a few more layers.” Sometimes others know you better than you know yourself. Follow him on Twitter for all that good good.
