Name: Abby Hornacek
Age: 25
Married/Single: Single
Kids: None
City you live in: NYC
A typical day in my life includes…
tennis shoes. I am extremely active, so whether I’m getting on the train, walking to work, or working out, these are a NECESSITY.
I was born…
an adventurer. I’ve always loved being outdoors, so I grew up hiking, skiing/snowboarding, skateboarding, playing sports, mountain biking, surfing, you name it!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
is hearing all of the different types of birds chirping while I drink my coffee outside in the morning.
I’m listening to…
birds chirping in the park. What can I say, it’s one of the best sounds! Also, music. I’m a huge country fan.
My family…
shaped who I am and is the most important thing in my life.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
with my family when we are all together. If you could experience how fun and dynamic the conversations are, you would understand why. I would invite Mother Teresa along because I would be honored to pick the brain of a woman who made such a massive difference in the world with absolutely nothing.
One thing I cannot live without…
music. I listen to it 99% of the time I’m not working.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
on Taylor Swift’s business team. She’s a genius. There’s still time.
I’m inspired by…
people who do things for others without seeking recognition.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s always made me feel capable of doing anything I wanted.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
people (especially children) staring at screens. So much of my life has been shaped by the experiences I’ve had that were uninterrupted by a device that threatens truly being in the moment.
The perfect day would be…
listening to country music while playing games on the porch with family and friends. If there is also a campfire involved, that would make it even better.
My first job was…
excavating my backyard for archaeological treasures.
My favorite escape…
is nature, basketball in the backyard and Dave and Busters.
My life…
has been blessed with incredible people. I feel very lucky.
I’m currently working on…
three different shows for FOX Nation (PARK’d with Abby Hornacek, Drive to Work, and a third we haven’t announced yet!) and still convincing Taylor Swift to let me be on her business team. I would also like to trick Dave and Busters into sponsoring me since I’ve spent endless hours playing pop-a-shot at their various locations.
Always…
call your family.
Never…
take them for granted.
Favorite Quote…
be the book people want to read. My mom is the wisest person in my life and this was her advice to me.
Biggest Dream…
to be remembered for how I treated people. Not for what I did for a living.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
when people check their phone when they’re talking to someone.
