Fun Fact: I think you know everything already if you’ve read this whole page!!!

PS: I’m 37 years old, most people say from listening that they think I’m older (guess it’s the voice and the bad attitude!). I got into radio when I was 16, back in Sterling IL. Spent some time working at stations in Savanna IL, Sterling IL, Alexandria LA, San Angelo TX, Birmingham AL, then moved up to Charlotte NC with Ace & TJ. We began working together in 1994. I've been dating a younger girl named Tessa since the summer of '07, never been married, no kids.
