Chris Hawkey was born a twin whose brother didn't survive their birth and raised in Union City, Indiana, where he graduated from Mississinawa Valley High School. Starting in 1989 he attended a broadcasting school in Dayton, Ohio, pursuing careers in both radio and music. Hawkey is married to Kim Hawkey (Lauren MacLeash), whom he met in Virginia Beach where they were co-workers. They have two children, Alex and Abigail. Hawkey moved to Minnesota when his wife was hired by a Twin Cities station and pursued a degree in religious studies at the University of Minnesota. He got a job running a control board for the syndicated Howard Stern Show before getting hired in 2001 to co-host and produce the Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN Radio, a sports radio network. Hawkey produces the radio broadcast of the Minnesota Vikings and is a play-by-play announcer for AMSOIL Championship Snocross on CBS Sports Network.
