I’ve been a broadcaster for more than 25 years with special emphasis on the creative production side. I like to produce commercials and music when I am not at work doing what I love to do. I like to let my inner musician free. I am proficient at playing guitar, drums and bass. Aside from being involved with music, I like to antique shop and restore my finds like old radios, recording equipment, cars and motorcycles. I also enjoy good times and making memories with family and friends. I don’t watch much TV unless it’s news or weather. As far as reading goes, my library if filled with “How To” books and repair manuals. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to wake up each day and do what I love to do: play the music you love, to provide you with news you can use, and most of all, create new friendships with you. Thank you for hanging out with me because the show sure would be boring without you!
