High School:  Chatham Glenwood...Always Remember the Redskins baby!

College: Broadcast Center, St. Louis

Jobs: My first job was at Knight's Action Park. I also worked at Jack's before it was ShopKo.  Then I worked at Kohl's for like 3 seconds.  In St. Louis, I worked for KFNS-590 The Fan, the Eagles Nest and the Family Fun Center.  Came back to Springfield and worked at a competing radio group for over 7-years and then spent about 4-months on the air in Taylorville. Along the way I also spent time as the P.A. guy for the Springfield Capitals (when they were here) and the Robert Morris College Hockey team.  But I'm super stoked to be on the Best Station in Springfield 99.7 KISS-FM weekdays from 2p-7p!

Teams: I bleed Cardinals red and Fighting Illini Orange and Blue.  My Favorite sports to play:  baseball, softball, golf, football, and fishing

Favorite sports to watch:  Baseball and soccer 

Biggest sports thrills:  Game 7 of the 2004 N-L-C-S Cardinals over the Astros...Jimmy and Rolen were awesome and the crowd was electric, it actually felt like the stadium was moving!  Other memorable moments in sports I've had include:  playing at Busch Stadium when it still had turf, seeing Mark McGwire hit 69 and 70, my brother going to State his senior year of High School for soccer, my bro winning 3 on 3 Soccer Nationals when he was 12, my bro winning State with SASA Raiders '86 Soccer Club when he was 11.

Music: I enjoy all music...depends on what mood I'm in.  If I want to move and dance around I'll listen to rap and R & B; if I'm chillin' by a campfire, I'll listen to country; if I want to listen to a ballgame, I'll flip on a game; or if I want to jam out, I'll throw on some hard, classic or 'hippie' rock

Concerts: quite a variety...Dave Matthews Band, Jimmy Buffett, 311, Steve Miller Band, Kid Rock, Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker, Nelly, Limp Bizkit, Ben Harper, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Beastie Boys, Bare Naked Ladies, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Rusted Root, MOE., and even Martina McBride and Shedaisy.  Jimmy Buffett was the best concert/atmosphere I've ever been to!

Movies: Tombstone is the best movie ever made..."I'm Your Huckleberry!"  Also a big fan of stupid comedy's like Van Wilder, Europtrip, Road Trip, Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, Ace Ventura, Step Brothers, Old School and many, many more.  You can't go wrong with the Back to the Future movies or any of the National Lampoon Chevy Chase movies!  I'm a big baseball guy too, so I like A League of Their Own, Major League, Bull Durham, Field Of Dreams, and *61. 

Food: Nothin' better than nachos with jalapenos at Busch Stadium! I also like pizza and popcorn

Siblings:  1 bro 'n 1 sis...both younger  -My sister had her first baby on March 3rd, 2008 so now I'm an Uncle!

Favorite vacation destinations:  Gulf Shores, Alabama; Gatlinburg, TN; anywhere in FLA, but Miami is the best; Pittsburgh, PA; Cleveland, OH; The Lake of the Ozarks, MO, and anywhere in beautiful Colorado.  However, the best trip EVER was our cruise to Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and several other islands along the way.  If you have never been on a cruise I suggest you do so before your life is over!
