I'm originally from Chicago but moved to the Panhandle in 1986. I graduated from Canyon High School and went on to Amarillo College to learn all I can about radio. I've been in the business for 18 years and hope for many more. I love music, baseball and Investigation Discovery Channel. I have one daughter, Faith (23), 1 dog, Chipper, who is a Puggle.....and Twilight the cat. You can find me at home cooking. I love to cook. I also love my Air Fryer and Instant Pot! What else does one need?
