Arya Ahmadi

Hometown:
I'm a good ol' Texas boy who made the move to Milwaukee for a job opportunity … ended up falling in love with my wife and the Midwest!

Hobbies:
Live music, exploring MKE’s food scene, trivia, running, biking, paddle boarding, chess and video games.

First/favorite concert:
First show was Foo Fighters at Buzzfest circa ’98. Favorite show so far: Tame Impala at Red Rocks in 2016. Amazing.

Favorite place to take a visitor in Milwaukee:
South Shore Terrace has one of the coolest views of the city when the sun is setting. Brunch at Cafe on the Plaza followed by a stroll through Veterans Park is the start of a quality day... but you can never go wrong with the Arby's on Miller Park Way.

Comfort drink:
A Paloma from Cloud Red.

How/why you got into radio:
Growing up, I always had a great admiration for broadcasters like Stuart Scott, Howard Cosell, John Madden, Gus Johnson, Kevin Harlan, Mike Breen and Liev Schreiber, among others. Being able to eloquently describe what's happening while also having amazing pipes was fascinating to me.
