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!
Who's been on Sesame Street?

Well, St. Louis managed to get a bit of snow this past week, but my family & I opted for a warm, indoor venue today...Sesame Street Live at the Scottrade Center. I bet you're wondering what that has to do with Arch Artists, aren't you?!?! For starters, they have featured some of the biggest names in Rock & Roll, Pop, and R&B!! Sesame Street has hosted such artists as Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel, Jason Mraz, Melissa Etheridge, Hootie & The Blowfish, and Carly Simon. So of course, that makes me a fan!! I have 3 young daughters and have watched my fair share of public television over the past 8yrs of fatherhood - and honestly, I never would've thought that the day would come that bands like R.E.M. and The Goo Goo Dolls would've been pal'ing around with muppets! How cool are they? I don't expect to see Lady Gaga introducing the letter of the day any time soon, but there's a good chance that there is a lot more Arch Artists just waiting for their turn down at Hoopers Store. So stay tuned into 106.5 the Arch...and Sesame Street...because it's brought to you by the letter "A" where its "A"LL about the variety!
