After 20 years, my time at KPRC 2 has come to an end. I’m so grateful to the viewers who welcomed me into their homes each morning, to my coworkers who became family, and to the station for two incredible decades. Thank you, Houston, for the privilege of sharing your stories.

Enjoy two minutes of me getting roasted by Kelvin Sampson 😂
Watching Kelvin Sampson absolutely fry @ChancellorTV at the Houston Cougars Media Day has been an elite experience.
"That's a Chancellor question. Try again."

What an awful time for so many people.
It was my first time anchoring nonstop breaking news. I was lucky to be sitting next to Linda Lorelle, one of Houston’s iconic anchors. She carried me through hours and hours of coverage and showed me the way.
Houston’s apocalyptic evacuation from Hurricane #Rita, 21 years ago today. Climate-fueled chaos existed even then. Were you there? 20 yo me is in that traffic somewhere with my family.

Some personal news.

I do not care about soccer. I will never care about soccer. But a German man has flown across an entire ocean for the World Cup, gotten in a car, is driving from Chattanooga to Houston, and documenting it on X like a war correspondent. He has eaten Waffle House hashbrowns at the late night hour God fully intended. He watched the NBA Finals at a Chili’s. He walked into a Buc-ee’s and I genuinely think he saw the face of the divine. This man is experiencing America for the first time with the wonder of a newborn and the stamina of a Navy SEAL.

The Houston Rockets and the Fertitta Family mourn the passing of Rick Adelman, one of the most respected and influential figures in NBA history.
During his four seasons in Houston, Coach Adelman guided the Rockets with professionalism, integrity, and a deep commitment to the game. His role in leading the team during the 22-game winning streak in 2008 remains one of the most remarkable achievements in franchise history and will always be remembered by Rockets fans.
We extend our deepest condolences to Mary Kay, his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will forever be a part of Rockets history and the fabric of the NBA.

When Phil Garner was fired by the Astros in 2007, I called him for a comment. He picked up the phone and was laughing. I asked him what's so funny. He said, "You have to work today. I don't."
RIP Scrap Iron.
👏👏👏
