Born and raised in the Twin Cities, working around the Midwest in radio for over 25 years. In the summer you’ll likely find me riding motorcycle with my wife Ali. In the winter you won’t see me unless you sneak into my cave, I hate the cold. What I DO enjoy is warm weather, my family (including our labs), riding motorcycle, firing up the grill, and thanking our military service members for our freedom. I love music, especially anything from the 80s!
