After being an inner-looper for five years, I moved to the burbs with my lovely wife Michele and my beautiful daughter Faith last year. A bit of a change, but we like it.
As far as the radio thing goes, I’ve been at it a while. I started at a Lufkin station while attending Stephen F. State University. I made the leap to KHMX after graduation, jumping over to KRBE for a four year stint. After that, a couple of years in NYC pulling Assistant Program Director duties at Z100 and then getting back on the air at WXRK K-Rock. After that, it was time to make the leap to mornings with a three year stint pulling AM wake-up duties at KDGE The Edge in Dallas.
At this point I became heavily involved in voice-over and production projects, which meant it was time to do some time in Los Angeles. After doing a late night shift at The World Famous KROQ, it was time to take a chance and return to Houston to work with a girl I barely knew.
Enter Roula Christie. Roula was doing mornings in Philly and we agreed to fly in and do a late night audition. They liked what they heard and we were both Houston bound. After a few months we knew we needed another piece of the puzzle to help us keep it running smoothly and we added Eric Rowe from KDBN Dallas. Every day we crack each other up and I hope we are able to make a few people smile along the way. (From what I've heard, we've managed to get a laugh or two). After joining KRBE, we all agreed we had found the dream job.
Although I love living in Houston, I’ve made a few return trips to LA making appearances on Days of Our Lives, Passions, and Star Trek Enterprise. (Yes, I'm a Trekkie, but I don't own a pair of ears). Outside of radio, I would say I squeeze a lot out of life. I consider myself a dedicated husband and father who takes his family on plenty of Clark Griswald type adventures, but who also raises hell on the weekends.
Whether it's hitting the club scene, checking out live music, or hitting the bay doing a little boating, I would say there's never a dull moment. As far as music is concerned, I love just about everything imaginable. My I-Pod has everything from System of a Down, to Frank Sinatra, to Kanye. Nobody will ever accuse me of not having an opinion and I am fine with that. Indifference has no place in my life. Even if you don't agree with me, I hope at least I got you thinking!
