Thank you very much for stopping by to see me. I am new here at WDWS/WHMS. I started December 2, 2007 board operating on the weekends and filling in here and there through the week. Now I am on Lite Rock 97.5 Sunday afternoons from 3 to 7 p.m. I am very grateful for getting this job and I absolutely love it.

I guess I should give you a little history lesson about myself- I was born and raised in Arcola. Went to Parkland made it through their radio program.

The reason why I wanted to get into radio is because my application to become a rock star kept getting rejected. Apparently you need to be able to do at least one of three things- play guitar, drums, or sing. I cannot do any of these things and I have a plethora of knowledge about music so I figured I may as well talk about the music. Plus I have a good face for radio.

When I was a kid my dinner plate was a steady diet of Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, and Jethro Tull. From there I just wrapped my arms around music. I embrace all the great artists from the classic era of rock such as: Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, and The Rolling Stones. There are many others but you get the idea.

Favorite sports teams include the Raiders, Cardinals, Illini basketball,and I have always been a Notre Dame football fan. I am also excited about what Ron Zook has been able to accomplish at the U of I.

Well I am going to take off now thank you for stopping by. Most importantly thank you for listening to WDWS/WHMS.
