Born into the winter of our discontent, Chris Fitzgerald quickly staked his claim as Lower Florida's Junior Alligator Wrestling Champion at the age of 7.
He defended this title until the age of 13, when, deciding he needed a break from the body guards, shoe endorsements and movie deals, enrolled himself in Father Benedict's Finishing School For Boys.
He excelled in all of his subjects, particularly penmanship and HAM radio.
After finishing school, he immersed himself in the rough and tumble world of amateur meteorology.
Thankfully, he has left that violent lifestyle behind him.
He now resides in Memphis, Tn with his wife, two dogs, one cat and one unicorn.
