Rick Lord: WCHS-TV Eyewitness News

Hello! I really don't know why you want to know about me, But I'll tell you what I can. I hate writing these things, because I'm no different than you.

I was raised in frigid Phoenix, Arizona, where the temperature often drops below 75 degrees in the cold winter months. To further my education, I attended what is widely regarded as the Harvard of the West.... that's right, THE Arizona State University...hehehe. My work at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunication caught the attention of FoxSports Arizona, who hired me as a sideline reporter. Somehow, one of my stories won a national award from the Society of Professional Journalists (First Place- Sports Reporting.) I still don't know how I scammed my way into that one!

I enjoy watching classic American films. Only the finest cinematic works will do, though. I need gripping dialogue, complex characters, and diverse plot-lines. Dumb and Dumber and Caddyshack are two of my favorites. I also enjoy playing terrible golf, dabbling in culinary arts, and putting up with my two neurotic cats, Peter and Parker (yes, comic book fans, they were named after Spiderman's alter ego.) Oh, and I NEVER spend an entire evening on my PlayStation, because I'm a grown man, and it shouldn't take me that long to pass a level, for goodness sake!

Of course, my job here is to bring you the news YOU care about, and the best way to do that is by listening to what YOU have to say. Please feel free to e-mail me with any comments, suggestions, or story ideas... well you get the idea! Thanks for taking the time to read about me, now let me know about YOU. See you soon!
