"As a proud Minnesota native and a Hmong son of east St. Paul, it’s the greatest honor of my career to join the most iconic morning newscast in Minnesota made up of journalists I’ve looked up to. As refugees, my parents have been loyal to FOX 9 Morning News for a long time to keep them informed daily and now FOX 9 becomes a part of their family’s story forever."
