About

Abby Hornacek is the upbeat travel, sports, and lifestyle host who headlines Fox Nation’s “PARK’D,” “American Arenas,” and “Ride to Work.” Born on April 25 1994 in Paradise Valley, Arizona, she grew up on NBA sidelines thanks to her father, former All-Star guard and coach Jeff Hornacek. Early exposure to packed arenas, cross-country road trips, and locker-room chatter planted the wanderlust and storytelling spark that now color her on-screen adventures.

Since joining Fox Nation in 2018, Abby has clocked thousands of miles rappelling in Zion, touring Wrigley Field’s bleachers, and sharing the cab of a NASCAR pace car—all while turning history lessons into friendly camp-fire tales. Her style blends a reporter’s curiosity with a “let’s-try-it” spirit, winning fans who tune in as much for her laughs as for her facts.

Before Fame

Abby’s first stage wasn’t a studio but a volleyball court. At Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix she helped capture a Class 5A state title, then joined the University of Southern California’s sand-volleyball squad. A rogue ball in practice ruptured her right eye socket, requiring multiple surgeries and ending her athletic career—but not her competitive drive.

Pivoting, she majored in broadcast journalism at USC, anchoring Trojan Vision and filing stories for Annenberg TV News. Production internships turned into on-air work with Fox Sports San Diego’s “Prep Insider,” where she learned to lug tripods, call highlights, and ad-lib rain delays. Covering the Drone Racing League for a Chicago sports network sharpened her knack for translating niche sports to general audiences. In 2014 she placed in the top-15 at the Miss Arizona USA pageant—another live-mic crash course that still shapes her quick-thinking delivery.

Trivia

  • Protective lens: The eye injury left her wearing a subtle green lens on air—an almost invisible safety precaution.
  • Park passport: In a March 2025 Q&A she revealed she has checked off 39 of America’s 63 national parks and keeps a dog-eared “park passport” journal.
  • Banjo breaks: Her Instagram bio brags she is a “below-average banjo player,” a nod to the bluegrass riffs she sneaks into quiet hotel nights.
  • Podcast professor: She hosts Fox News Radio’s “Getting Schooled,” distilling complex topics—from astrophysics to barbecue—into friendly half-hour lessons.
  • Sideline regular: Abby returns to NBA Summer League in Las Vegas each July, blending reporting work with Hornacek family reunions.

Family Life

Abby is the youngest of three children born to Jeff and Stacy Hornacek. Brothers Ryan and Tyler were her first cameramen for backyard “newscasts” and remain her go-to fact-checkers and joke writers. The clan’s frequent moves during Jeff’s coaching career only deepened their bond; summers still revolve around desert hikes, driveway free-throw contests, and grilled-corn dinners under the Arizona sunset.

Associated With

Early in her career Abby filed features alongside veteran broadcaster Leeann Tweeden, absorbing locker-room interviewing tricks. Today she swaps red-carpet banter with Fox colleague Janice Dean and teams with Pete Hegseth on military-history segments. Away from Fox cameras she has chatted park preservation with NBA legends Charles Barkley and Steve Kerr, traded travel hacks with survivalist Bear Grylls, and emceed charity matches beside Olympic great Misty May-Treanor—proof that her professional network is as broad as the open roads she loves to explore.
