Satterwhite said in his first news conference Wednesday that while he was honored to be in the position, it’s also tough to see what Finner is going through.
“I think this is killing him,” Satterwhite said, adding “I will take care of Chief in every way possible.”Houston bred and super excited to be back home! I grew up in The Heights with my 8 brothers and sisters and moved back in 2024. My career as a journalist spans a lot of years -- I like to say there's a lot of tread on these tires! I'm passionate about helping people. I also really love sharing success stories and stories of redemption.
