I Grew up Petoskey Michigan... and for the last 13 years - have made Grand Rapids my home. I love it here, and the people are great too. I started in Radio as as a teenager, and going on my 14th year in radio in West Michigan! I've lived in all four "Quadrants" of Grand Rapids, but now reside on the West Side with my Dog, two cats, 13 pinball machines and my grand piano. Love hockey, football, auto racing, playing the piano, singing, live music, theater and being outdoors - and love exploring West Michigan and new places. I'm THRILLED to be on Classic Hits 98-7 from 10-3 Every day. Drop me a line anytime!
