When not at work, where would you be most likely found? I love exploring antique shops/estate sales/auctions and taking our boat to Sandy Neck. I equally love binging on reality TV.

Why/how did you choose a career in radio? Radio chose me. Honestly! I’d interned at a TV news station during high school, but was studying computer science when a DJ asked if I’d ever considered working in radio. I gave it a try and within a year had a full time job and went to college around my air shift. That was almost 20 years ago! I’ve worked in Texas, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seattle, Boston and the UK doing music radio and news broadcasts.
