I grew up in Iowa, on a farm, until I was 8, and then moved to a small town of 300, which was basically the country, when my parents split. I have worked in radio since I was 16, as soon as I could drive myself to a radio station in Ottumwa, Iowa. Working all over the Midwest over the last 30+ years, I have spent the last 24 years in the Fox Valley. I love it in Northeast Wisconsin! I am married with 4 kids, ages 18, 14, 10 and 8. If I never see slime again, it will be too soon. I love music, video games (when I have time), and working on our house. We have a Boston terrier named Bubbles who has an Instagram fan page with more followers than I will probably ever have: @bubblesfanpage. We would love to find another Boston in the future. I also run Gold Medal Sound and love to dj events.
Little known fact:
- My wife and I were engaged on the stage at Country USA in 1997 during a Ricochet show (I am glad she said yes).
- I have mixed cheerleading music all over the world, including the national championships on ESPN for 15 years.
Bucket List: Visit Europe, ride a dinosaur, visit Washington DC and live to see the Brewers win the World Series
Wish:

- When I retire from radio, I want to work at Disneyworld or set the world record for riding Space Mountain.
