Music has always been a part of my life from as far back as I can remember. Growing up I was surrounded by music at family gatherings. In school I was involved with music programs as well as sports.

I love all kinds of music, but Country Music has always been my passion. I have worked in the Country Music Industry (both radio & record label sides) for quite a while now.

I started here at B104 in 1998. I met the lady who would become my wife and have made a life right here in Central Illinois.
