Ford Hatchett joined the ABC15 team as a multimedia journalist in January of 2023.

LATEST FROM ABC15's FORD HATCHETT:
Ford grew up in Raleigh, NC playing ice hockey before moving on to play for a prep school in northern Massachusetts. Ford then went on to attend Syracuse University where he graduated with degrees in Broadcast & Digital Journalism, Political Science, and a minor in Finance.
An avid sports fan, Ford cheers on his hometown Carolina Hurricanes and the Carolina Panthers along with the Syracuse Orange and NC State Wolfpack. He is quickly learning to adopt the Coyotes, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Suns, and Mercury.
When he’s not at work you can likely find Ford playing hockey, at a concert, or at home playing Mario Kart. He’s always looking for new books and music, so send recommendations or story tips his way at Ford.Hatchett@ABC15.com
