Patti is thrilled to be at KOVR-13, back in California and closer to her family.

She is an award-winning anchor/reporter who recently worked at WJW in Cleveland and before that at KHNL in Honolulu. She started her career behind the scenes-- at the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour in San Francisco on to jobs in Santa Rosa and Dallas.

Patti received her B.A. Columbia University in New York City where she studied American History and played on the tennis team. She says she considered a career in law....until she caught the newsbug working at the campus radio station!

She is an active member of AAJA and served for years as Honolulu's chapter president. In her free time, she runs marathons, struggles to stretch through yoga classes and is on the constant hunt for Korean restaurants that serve authentic kimchee!

 

Cody Stark was born and raised in Alabama, which explains his obsession with barbeque and barbequing accessories.

Cody has had a varied career, and has done about every job imaginable in television, from news director, to game show host, to features reporter, to weather in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee.

He and his wife Carol recently had a baby boy, who already has a love of cloud formations. They also have a cat named Molly.

Cody loves to read, watch TV, and sleep in until noon. With a new baby, his hobbies might be changing!

Watch Cody weekdays on KOVR Daybreak and KOVR 13 News at Noon.
