It’s  2019 & the weather has been AWESOME! I LOVE me lots of snow & cold weather this time of year. Also kind of ready for warmer weather, too.

What’s there to know about me?  My family has recently purchased our first ever home (which is exciting & scary at the same time). We plan to make Mid-Michigan our “forever home!”

Been on the Morning show with Tina Sawyer (Yes, we are brother & sister, not married or dating each other–as some would speculate), since June 2017!

Came to Mt. Pleasant on a dare & a 6 pack (lol-just kidding, no alcohol was involved), from Terre Haute, IN (one of my many radio stops in this crazy business).  Served time in Akron/Canton, OH;  Flint, MI; Chicago, Toledo, OH; Rockford, IL; Madison, WI;  Charleston, SC; Charleston, WV & started originally out in Toledo, OH!

Started my career almost 30 years ago & have loved every minute of every adventure in it.

I’m a fella who loves to have fun, is real and not fake, and tells things (from my perspective–which inspires many a morning conversations with my partner in crime).  I’ve been told I’m an “Acquired Taste!”

Married with Children (like Al Bundy). (2) wonderful kids (then again, most ppl say their kids are wonderful–haha)…but mine, truly are!

Things I like to do when I’m not loitering at work:  Love playing golf (watching it on TV is borrrr-ing). I do enjoy spending time in the yard (not the rec yard in a prison, but doing landscaping stuff, etc). I live, breath, eat, sleep & nap Michigan Wolverines Football! I’m a HUGE advocate for local businesses, keeping our dollars in our area,  (Basically, I enjoy play time at the casino).  Going to see movies is alot of fun (Large refillable popcorn & raisinettes are my favs).

Most days you’ll find me walking around aimlessly quoting movies from all time periods-especially comedies.  Chillin on Netflix & Hulu mostly!

My faith is a HUGE part of who I am & I love to contemplate the meaning of life with others. I love hanging out and meeting new people & just being myself.

A few of my favorite things:

COLOR:  Green

HOLIDAY: Christmas

DAY OF THE WEEK:  Anyday I can come in & play on the radio

MOVIE(S):  Bohemian Rhapsody (currently) Blood In, Blood Out; Borat, 80s John Hughes flicks, Shawshank Redemption, Dumb & Dumber, Raising Arizona, Jaws, Can’t Buy Me Love.

MONTH OF THE YEAR:  September (football & my Bday)

GROUP/BAND: Depends on my mood (favs include: Queen, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, MJ, Spinners) & 70s & 80s.

SONG: The one with meaningful words
