i was working part time at another station to supplement my income at wcbs here in new york as a local traffic reporter. i met a wonderful makeup artist there. she said you don t look very happy. what do you want to do with your life? i said i don t know. i just don t feel like i m in the right job. and she said give me your tape. i m going to bring it over to fox because i work over there as well. and she brought my tape over to fox who gave it to another makeup artist here. and somehow she gave my tape to the office and here i am. you know what i tell people you never know where your next job is going to come from. always treat people with respect and the way you would want to be treated. and that s how i got in here. they hire you here to do the weather. they needed a daytime weather person here so i went back to school. you went back to weather school. yes. and now you re a meteorologist here at fox news. all day wednesday it s going to be a mess. you also write chi
to. my mom said she wanted to give me a name nobody would ever forget and i think that worked. one of those people is you obviously because you take your namesake carefully into consideration here. was that a lot of pressure? absolutely. it took me a lot of time to grow into the name. until i was 18 it was tough. you get teased a lot. i get asked every single day are you a pilot? i thought i better take a flight lesson. now i have been flying for ten years. my cockpit is my favorite place to be. were you getting teased when you were a traffic reporter? yes especially since i was in a helicopter. you flew a single-engine plane? is that right? we did. we flew a single engine turbo prop, beautiful airplane and great plane to finish the flight. it got all the modern technology with a real hand flying operation across the atlantic. we hand flew it for eight
