Things to know about KOIN 6 sports reporter AJ McCord

I love surfing, my dad put me on a board when I was three years old and I’ve been part mermaid ever since. It’s still our favorite thing to do together.

I adore the outdoors. Every chance I get, I’m outside exploring this amazing place we live.

Before I worked in television I was a whitewater rafting guide in Colorado. I did this for three summers and consistently rowed 8 people down a 10 mile stretch twice a day. 

My first true on-air job was with Rally America. I got to interview great guys like Travis Pastrana. It was also my first time in Oregon, when I was here for the Oregon Trail Rally. 

I played everything under the sun growing up, but my primary sport was gymnastics. I was a gymnast for 16 years. 

I was born and raised in beautiful San Diego. 

I adopted Scarlett four years ago and she’s been my best girl every since. She loves hiking, swimming and cuddling. 

I hate being cold but I love snowboarding.

I threw out the first pitch at the Hops game!

One of my favorite Oregon towns to visit is Sisters.
