Summary

I'm a Blue Chip Radio Host, capable of working in any format and time slot. That said, I prefer the challenge, responsibility and prestige that comes with hosting The Morning Show. A pleasure both On-Air and in the office and community, I bring a fun, energetic and informed approach to my radio shows.


With a focus on music and community, I strive to make each listener excited for the next song, and to enjoy the time between them.
