Hometown: 
Mequon, WI

First concert:
Steve Winwood‘s “Roll With It” tour at the Marcus Amphitheater. Summerfest, 1988.

How/why you got into radio:
When I was 19, I wanted to find a cool summer job. Since I loved music, I sent cold letters to several radio stations and concert venues in town, and got a call back from Lazer 103. They hired me to do market research 20 hours a week. I loved it so much that I transferred from UWGB to UWM and switched my major from Environmental Policy & Planning to Broadcast Journalism. I’ve been in radio ever since.

Comfort drink:
Chocolate milk!

What about you would surprise people:
I’ve sung at Carnegie Hall.
