I'm originally from Chicago but moved to the Panhandle in 1986. I graduated from Canyon High School and went on to Amarillo College to learn all I can about radio. I've been on the radio for over twenty years and hope for many more. I love music, baseball, and the Investigation Discovery Channel. I have one daughter, Faith which you'll probably hear about on the air, one dog, Chipper, who is a Puggle, and Twilight the cat. You can find me at home cooking. I love to cook. I also love my Air Fryer and Instant Pot! What else does one need?

Open Letter to That Jerk Who Doesn’t Know What to Do with a Shopping Cart
Shopping carts. Why are they such an enemy to some people? To you in particular. I mean how hard is it to treat them like they should be treated? How hard is it to return them to where they belong?
