About The Author:
I'm relatively new to the Arch family, but I have been apart of the radio & media industry since the late 80's after graduating from Lewis & Clark Community College in 1985, with a degree in Radio Broadcasting. My wife Holly and I have 3 wonderful little girls: Grace, Mercie and Hope...and yes, those really are their names!I have had a love for radio since I was quite young; debuting my voice talents in my bedroom, playing records and announcing each song (and driving my parents crazy!). My appreciation for great music was natural, as I grew up listening to my older siblings albums, like The Who, The Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad, and KISS. By my mid-teens, KISS became my band of choice, and I began collecting everything they recorded...I'm quite proud of my collection of rare, limited edition items.
My love for music turned me into a concert enthusiast; taking in artists such as Styx, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, The Rolling Stones, and of course KISS. Van Halen was my first concert in 1980..for only $8.50!!! Back in those days, I even trained myself to play the drums - even made it into a band for several years - my candy apple red Pearl drumset is still a prized possession.
My on-air experiences have taken me across several formats including Country, Christian & Sportstalk. And now 25yrs after I started this career path, I'm thoroughly enjoying being apart of the top station in St. Louis...106.5 ~ The Arch!

Alan Parsons Project lead singer and songwriter Eric Woolfson died of cancer this past Wednesday at age 64. Woolfson is the voice on such hits as "Eye In The Sky" and "Don't Answer Me."
According to the alanparsonsmusic.com website, Woolfon has been suffering from cancer for many years. Alan Parsons said about Woolfson, "His songwriting talent speaks for itself. He not only wrote the majority of the songs we recorded together but after we had two or three albums under our belts he proved that he had a singing voice that would be loved by millions. I look back upon our times together making The Alan Parsons Projects very fondly. The legacy that Eric created as half of The Alan Parsons Project lived on with a lasting power few artists have ever enjoyed - and I will always be grateful for that."
Alan Parson's project has always been one of my favorites and Woolfson's legacy will live on...with great music.
