Originally From: Athol, MA
I have lived in central Massachusetts all of my life, spending many summers in Southern N.H. I went to school for Radio & TV in Boston and started in radio at the age of 19, and yes, there were turntables in the studio. I have 1 teenage son.
Favorite food:
Lobster dipped in butter, fresh haddock, grilled shrimp, marinated sirloin tips. A really good Prime Rib on occasion or a chicken barbeque isn't bad either.
Favorite sports stuff (c’mon it’s New England):
Big Papi hitting a grand slam to put the Sox in the lead. Seeing the Patriots in the Superbowl. A High School Football Game on a cool Friday night under the lights.
Favorite vacation destination:
There are so many places I'd like to visit. Favorite close to home vacation is the coast of Maine.
Favorite TV shows:
The Office, My Name is Earl, The Late Show with David Letterman, Family Guy, and nothing beats a Seinfeld re-run.
Favorite Music:
Coldplay, Lifehouse, Van Halen, Prince, Duran Duran, THE 80'S!
Best concert you’ve ever been to:
Fleetwood Mac at the DCU Center - decades of hits & they all sounded great! Lionel Richie in the XLO Music Loft - amazing!
How did you get started in radio:
My TV Show was cancelled.
Most Embarrassing Radio Moment:
Much of what I did before XLO .
