Weekday afternoons
I consider myself one of the luckiest guys in the world.  I have a wonderful wife, two cool kids, and I get to work at a radio station with the best listeners.   I really enjoy spending the afternoon with you as we get through the workday together.  Oh btw....yes it is true, I'm originally from Wisconsin so I am a Packer's fan!

Over the lunch hour, feel free to call me at 280-9898 or email me to request your favorite song with the Bullpen Lunch Hour.  Weekdays from noon-1pm.

Personality bio
I grew up in:  Wisconsin
Family:  I have a lovely wife named Cindie and two wonderful kids.  Michelle started college this fall and Aaron attends high school.
As a kid I wanted to be:  A Sportswriter
Dream job besides working for The Bull:  I used to say backup quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.  Carry a clipboard, wear a ballcap on the sidelines and watch Brett Favre play every game.  Now that Brett has retired, I'm thinking cabana boy for Julianne Hough.
Best concert I've ever seen:  (large venue)  Bruce Springsteen at an outdoor music theatre on his Born In The USA tour.  He played for 3 hours straight.  No opening act, just Bruce and his band.  (small venue)  Phil Vassar and Sugarland in Mexico.  At the last station I worked for, we had annual trips with listeners where we went someplace really warm in the middle of winter.  We broadcast our morning show oceanside each morning and brought along a couple of artists to do a private concert at the resort.  Phil and Sugarland came along one year.  Phil was supposed to play for 60 minutes but ended up playing for 2 1/2 hours.   It was an incredible night!
Favorite TV show:  Too many to list just one.  I like Survivor, Two and Half Men, Seinfeld, Scrubs, The Office, Reno 911, King Of Queens, CSI, Family Guy and I'm starting to watch alot of HGTV these days.
Fantasy Vacation:  I've already had it.  When the kids were younger, we went to Florida.   Just the thought of their faces when they first saw Disney still puts a big smile on my face.  We then headed over to St Pete Beach.  I think my son wanted to swim all the way to Mexico, he loved the ocean so much.  
First Country song that knocked my socks off:  The Dance by Garth. My boss at my first country radio station told me I would love country music within 6 months.  He was wrong, it only took about 6 weeks after I started working at the station for me to hear The Dance.  I was blown away by it and I've loved country ever since.
