The worst part about being in radio is writing these "about me bio" things, I'm not a fan of it. I wish I could go to www.RadioDjBios.com, drop 5 bucks and BAM done, but that's not happening, so here it goes.I grew up in the Twin Cities, graduated from Champlin Park High School and as long as I can remember I wanted to be n the radio. I immediately went to work in Grand Forks, ND and worked on the air for a few years before moving back to Minneapolis to work with Dave Ryan at KDWB. After about 5+ years on the air in Minneapolis I decided it was time for a change, so I moved up north and the rest is history!I live in Superior with my long time girlfriend Mindy and dog Rawko. When I say long time, I mean 5+ years. I know, I know "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it"...... Stay tuned :)In my free time I enjoy playing video games, doing house projects and working on the Twin Ports Pet Expo, which is a little side business I have. I don't like winter very much, I hate being cold, but the Summer in the Northland makes it worth it......right?Anyway, I wouldn't have paid 5 bucks for that, but I hope you enjoyed that and I hope you enjoy hanging out with me weekdays 2 - 7pm on Mix 108!
