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!
