Marcus Hyatt's Biography: I have had the privilege of calling Central Florida home for over twenty years. Originally born in Daytona Beach and raised in Miami, I developed a love for sports early on. I later moved to Orlando to attend the University of Central Florida, where I pursued my academic goals. I’m happily married to my wonderful wife, Alex Hyatt, and together we have four amazing children. In my free time, I enjoy staying active at the gym and practicing Jiu Jitsu for fun. I also enjoy traveling with my family. “Marcus began his law enforcement career with the Orlando Police Department, where he served in the Patrol Division and as a member of the Neighborhood Patrol Unit. This unit was established to foster positive relationships with community members in high-call-volume areas, aiming to rebuild trust between the police and residents following the George Floyd tragedy. As Youth Outreach Coordinator, Marcus worked to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the youth of Orlando. In this role, he helped manage large federal grants and organized the Orlando Police Department’s first field trip to Washington D.C. for students in the Junior Reserve Law Enforcement Program. The program, initially launched at Jones High School and Lake Nona High School, provided students with valuable insights into law enforcement. Marcus worked directly under the supervision of Police Chief Orlando Rolón before transitioning to a role as a detective in the Sex Crimes division. After leaving the police department, Marcus pursued a legal career and became an attorney, where he focused on handling first-party property cases as a plaintiff attorney.” ABOUT RYAN ELIJAH: Ryan and his wife, Tasha, have raised their two boys in Seminole County and, as a long-time Florida resident of 20 years — 14 of them in District 7 — he is committed to fighting for conservative Florida values. He's an Emmy-winning news anchor, having hosted the popular weekly show Orlando Matters, which provided viewers direct access to elected officials—from members of Congress to the President of the United States. Ryan has always been involved with the community. During his broadcasting career, he created a consumer advocacy segment that returned thousands of dollars to residents in need. The segment frequently tackled complex federal issues, including Social Security disability benefits and consumer protection matters. He has served on numerous boards, including the YMCA, a homeowners association, and a Christian school board, where he helped oversee budgets and operations. He was also appointed by Jacksonville Mayor John Delaney to serve on the Mayor’s Council. During that time, Ryan hosted television programming for the Jacksonville Jaguars and worked as a sideline reporter for the Jaguars Radio Network and Fox Sports. Ryan is active in his church and around Central Florida. You'll often find his family at our theme parks or taking a cruise from Port Canaveral. He has great memories from coaching high school basketball and Little League baseball.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
