The Bio
Born in the beautiful UP town of Newberry, in 1979. Wanted to be a TV Weatherman for most of my life, until I decided that being a meteorologist would include waaaay to many math and physics classes. Decided on sports broadcasting my senior year in high school and quickly started broadcasting high school basketball and football on WNBY.
Went to Central Michigan because of its reputation as an excellent broadcasting school (it is, go there, ignore Specs) and was pretty much on-air multiple times a week DJ-ing and broadcasting various college and high school sports on WMHW Modern Rock 91.5.
After graduating and getting married in the spring of 2002, I went to work for the Palace of Auburn Hills as an audio engineer for Pistons games and did my best to find a job in radio. I harrassed Rona (WDFN's Program Director) into giving me a job producing and finally got a break that fall.
In 2005, I started working as an update anchor and found full-time work as a traffic producer/reporter for Total Traffic Network. Since then I've worked my way up to Director of Operations for TTN here in Detroit.
Other Notes:
--Have done the radio broadcast for the MHSAA's State Football Finals with best friend and CMU Alum, Joe Mazeika.
--Worked both of the Pistons trips to the NBA Finals as an audio engineer and got to go into the locker room to watch Kid Rock make a drunken spectacle of himself to Stoney.
Congratulations, you now know more about me than my friends do.
