MARK MATHIS

"Local Celebrity Interview with Mark Mathis
Formerly Of Fox News Rising"

We often go through life seeing people on television, but we really never get to know who they really are and what there about.
Life moves at the blink of an eye. We sometimes miss out on the Human Side of our local television talent. Television is a great
medium for bringing all sorts of information to the viewers of our local viewing audiences. Ironically though, we never get to know
the local talent on a more personal level. After all, we bring our local television celebrities into our homes on a daily basis,
through the magic of television. Plus we drink our coffee with them, every morning.
We at CharlotteOneStop.com, would like to introduce our local Charlotte Celebrities to you on a more personal level. Mark
Mathis is our first interviewed “Local Celebrity,” of Charlotte. It’s a little window into his busy life.
Mark is a talented, charismatic and energetic individual. I enjoyed meeting with him and appreciate the time he gave for our
interview. He has worked in a number of cities here in the Southeast. Mark works hard and knows how to enjoy himself in our
beautiful city of Charlotte, NC, in his spare time. Below, in our interview you will find out a little more about Mark.

1.) When young, did you think you would end up on TV and being a newscaster?
