I was born in Duluth, Graduated from Duluth Central, Lived in Nashville, Baton Rouge, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and traveled around the U.S. I have been working in radio since 1995. I also write, produce, and play music. I am very involved in local music, I love hockey, and fashion (yes, fashion!) and football. I have a younger brother Erik and sister Stacy, and they 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 some haunted locations, I have many stories to share, and would love hearing yours. If you know somewhere haunted, tell me I would love to investigate. Thank you for listening to me! Without you, I wouldn't have a job.
