Let's see...where to begin...it was a cold December day at "the old" Mary Washington Hospital (yes I'm a hometown boy!)...I guess we don't need to go back that far.

However, keeping with the theme, I am a graduate of Mary Washington COLLEGE (they tell me it's a University now!). When in college, and even high school, I was a manager at the movie theater in Central Park. I also delivered The Washington Post. If you live downtown near the College, you probably heard me at about 3 in the morning!

Just in case I didn't have enough jobs and school work to juggle, I also got a part-time job at WGRQ while in my sophomore year of MWC. I started off just working weekends and events, but I was eventually brought on full-time (either due to my great work, or the station simply having an opening at a good time for me).

I continued working events, and doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff, and eventually picked up some fill-in airtime, and got my own weekend show on our sister station. From there I became our regular fill-in, and about a year and a half ago, a full-time show came open for me..that's where we are now.

I recently got married, bought our first home, and welcomed into the world our first baby, Haley! We have two cats, my cat (nelly) is pictured at right. Her cat (jinx) is too fat to fit in a picture!

Through the years I've had the opportunity to work with some really great people, and even meet my fair share of famous people...not a bad gig! But I couldn't do any of it, if it weren't for you! So thanks for hanging with me!
