SCROLL DOWN for JAY's BIO -
I was born in St. Louis and grew up here, Minneapolis and San Jose, California...a multi-city childhood that prepared me well for the rock band-style, gypsy touring life that is a career in radio.
It's been a blast seeing America by working and living in all quadrants of the USA - I've been to 46 of our states and seen a lot of our amazing country, living and working in places like San Jose/San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, Milwaukee, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Springfield, IL, Dallas and Charleston, SC. I previously worked in St. Louis radio from 1995-97 when KSD was classic rock - (I think they play Polkas of the Antarctic now).
I came back to StL for good in 2006 to take care of family matters and have been with THE ARCH since June of 2007. It is the most perfect music station I have ever worked for, allowing me to indulge my rawk side as much as my love for pop music. It's my passion to bring all kinds of music to you and to dig around for the fun facts and stories behind the tunes and the people who make them.
I'm really lucky to be on TEAM ARCH, and I really appreciate that YOU listen. Thanks!
I GOT STAIND WITH STAIND

This afternoon as I played “It’s Been Awhile” by Staind, I reflected on the time I “got Staind with Staind”. It was 1998, the year of their first album release and they came by the station where I worked in Minneapolis and we went to an indoor paintball course. We were scheduled to play for about 45 minutes and then they were supposed to go to do their soundcheck at the venue. They had so much fun, they blew off the soundcheck and we battled for 3 hours!! ** Fans of Staind: Check out Aaron Lewis solo at the Bottleneck Blues Bar at The Ameristar Casino in St. Charles on January 19th!
Obviously, this was taken before the paintball war. Standing: Aaron Lewis (Staind), Mike Mushok (Staind), Todd, Jay Philpott, John Wysocki (Staind), Joe, Chris. Kneeling: Kay, Joey
