THINGS I LOVE by Lisa Malosky
The Upper Hand Salon , owned by my dear friends Rachel Gower and Brian Williard , is the best in the city . Not only do Rachel and Brian run an amazing salon , they are committed to philanthrophy ; they are my kind of people and the Upper Hand is my kind of salon .
LISA MALOSKY has been a trailblazer for more than two decades -- the first female sports anchor at KPRC TV2 in Houston , the first female cohost of the original " American Gladiators " show and a member of the first , all female broadcast team for NBC ‘ s coverage of the inaugural season of the WNBA . Since 2010 , Lisa has been working almost exclusively with Don Friedell as CEO of Lisa Malosky Productions , creating videos for clients across the country . She also emcees dozens of events in Houston and beyond .
I was a sportscaster in this great city during an exciting time in Houston sports history – the Astros Jeff Bagwell won the Rookie of the Year Award , Warren Moon was quarterbacking the Oilers and the Houston Rockets , led by former UH Cougars Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler , won two NBA Championships . I still follow all Houston sports teams but my heart is with my sons … Dylan , a midfielder for the Strake Jesuit lacrosse team and Luke , a forward for the Briarwood Mustangs basketball team .
