He also spent two of his summers playing in the Cape Cod League for Harwich, and was a Junior Olympic All-American baseball player. He then played for both the Milwaukee Brewers and the Detroit Tigers minor league teams.

Journalism Career

Housley kicked off his broadcast journalism career in his hometown of Napa, California, where he was a report for KVON-KVYN radio. There, he developed and produced various newscasts. He then moved to Chico, California, where he was a live reporter for KCPM-TV (NBC) from 1997 to 1998. While there, he actually won a California Department of Forestry Award because he helped capture a wanted arsonist responsible for a 50,000-acre fire. In 1998, he moved to Santa Rosa, California, where he was the lead reporter for independent station KFTY-TV. He then worked as a reporter at KTXL-TV (Fox) in Sacramento, California. He was there from 1999 to 2001, and during his time with them he won several awards such as the 2001 Regional Associated Press Reporting Award and a Regional Emmy Award.

Housley joined Fox News Channel in 2001. There, he covered many big news stories such as Thailand after a tsunami, multiple drug-related stories in South American, the Chilean mine rescue effort, and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. He also reported during the Iraq War from overseas locations such as Kuwait, Iraw, Bahrain, Jordan, and the Persian Gulf. In fact, he was actually on air in Kuwait during the moment missiles and warning sirens began blaring on March 20, 2003. Other notable moments from Housley's time with Fox News include the execution of murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams at San Quentin Prison—Housley was one of only a few reporters elected to witness the execution that took place in December 2005; an exclusive interview with a special operations whistle-blower relating to the September 2012 Benghazi attack; live coverage of the Los Angeles International Airport shooting; and coverage of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

Housley left his position at Fox News in 2018. Allegedly, he chose to part ways with Fox News over disagreements and frustrations he had over the direction of the network's reporting, and the increasing shift of focus of the network away from hard journalism towards opinion pieces.
