Being around the media and in the public eye is far from new to Jason Guy. At 12 years old, he received his FCC license and worked for various radio stations in Mobile, Alabama for over 12 years. During his high school years, he was host of the “Fox 15 Breakfast Club” TV show on WPMI, the Gulf Coast Fox affiliate.

During her first year as Miss America, she met Jon Christensen on a Valentine’s Day flight, and they were married on November 21, 1998, in Mobile, Alabama.
