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!
