I was born and raised in Duluth. I have also lived in Nashville, Baton Rouge, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula. I started in radio in 1995 and love my job and I love meeting people so if you see me, come and say hi!. I also write, produce, and play music. I am very involved in local music, I love hockey, football, volleyball, and fashion (yes, fashion!). I have a younger brother Erik and sister Stacy, who live in Phoenix with my Mom and Dad. I have a son named Sam who comes on the radio with me from time to time. I love the paranormal and investigate locations around the area, I have many stories to share, and would love to hear yours. If you know somewhere haunted, tell me I would love to investigate.
