I was born a very large baby in the year 1960 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank, California. After moving around a half dozen times or so, I sort of began to grow roots here in New England beginning in 1973. So why radio? Well...my father worked in radio, and television, and hosted a few different shows in different cities. A very cool job…and I wanted to be just like him. Although I realized the TV part wouldn’t work due to my “radio” face.

I have been in radio for over 30 years, and have been working at Country 102.5 since 1994. Since 1997 I have been host of the morning show. For nearly 10 years I have had the privilege of sharing the morning show with the very lovely and talented Lori Grande. Lori, and Hank Morse, who handles traffic every morning, are the best folks to work with! Very easy going, and fun. I’m sure they would say the same of me…if they were offered lots of cash.

I currently reside in Holliston with my lovely wife of 22 years, Sarah, and our three wonderfully adorable daughters, Meghan, Kaitlyn, and Amanda. Along with the humans, we have four cats, Bella, Sampson, Ron and Harry, (yes, the last two have a Harry Potter connection), plus a yard full of wild vermin. As for stuff outside of radio, I have coached soccer for many years for, and with, my daughters. I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and making mowing patterns in the yard just like the guys at Fenway Park. Although my patterns always just look pathetic. That quite possibly could be due to the fact that my lawn is full of weeds, and bare spots.

I love to watch all kinds of sporting events, with New England Revolution games being at the top of the list. I also am a huge fan of the Pats, West Bromwich Albion, and Barcelona!

My favorite artists? How about Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, Zac Brown, T-Swizzle and Jake Owen. I love watching Lifetime...(OK, that's a lie, but my wife was just looking over my shoulder), and I can also be found watching NCIS, American Idol, Mythbusters, Survivor, and anything on Fox Soccer Channel. 

My favorite movies of all time are...Jaws, any of the Harry Potter series, all of the Bourne flicks, The Blind Side, and anything from Disney. How about books? Deathly Hallows...Pillars of the Earth...and anything from Edward Rutherfurd. OK, add most of Ken Follett's stuff too,

 

That's enough for now...if you're still awake.
