About me

Gender Male
Industry Communications or Media
Occupation Best broadcaster of all time (so says Rick Dees)
Location Jackson, Michigan, United States
Introduction Voice over talent, "on hiatus" radio/TV personality, musician, singer, songwriter, producer, performer, entertainer, comedian, writer, blogger, dad to the most amazing kids, and fiancee to the most beautiful and wonderful woman in the world!

I began my journey in the media/entertainment/music world at age 4. Began studying piano when I figured out how to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as a pre-schooler and did my first media work as a spokes-kid for AAA as the AAA Wagon Boy. Since then I have been in hundreds of stage, screen and on-air productions, positions and gigs.

I am not perfect...and will never claim to be. I am just a person like you who is living each day to the fullest and trying my best to do it right.
Interests Music, broadcasting, movies, concerts, great food, fine wine, fast cars, playing guitars (keyboards, bass, drums, etc.), making squirrels fat and happy, Professional Twister, photography, writing, reading, but not 'rithmatic, finding that elusive Shiatsu scalp massager, and last but not least...my kids!
Favorite Movies Star Wars (except for "Clone Wars"...what a letdown), Defiance, Role Models, Iron Man, The Interpreter, Barcelona, Knocked Up, The Departed, The Lives of Others, Talk To Me, all the Bourne series movies, One, Into The Wild, The Mist, Under The Sand, Get Shorty, Goodfellas, Unforgiven, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Chinatown, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...and lots more!
Favorite Music Rock...of course! Old stuff, new stuff. New stuff...old stuff. Zeppelin, AC/DC, Linkin Park, Skynyrd, Korn, Who, ZZ Top, Jane's Addiction, Black Sabbath, STP, Stooges...and a whole load of others. And just a twinge of alternative to keep things interesting.
Favorite Books Currently reading "The Success Manifesto"...other favs include The Essential Laws Of Fearless Living, 3:10 To Yuma, anything by Dean Koontz or John Patterson, The Eagle And The Raven, Desperation, The Shawshank Redemption, books on success, books on comedy, observational books, books on media and entertainment, and for grins I read books on how to fix things with a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers...a roll of duct tape...and a turkey baster.
