About Me:
I was born in New England (Boston) and lived in NYC as a kid. By the time I was 18 I had a record collection of close to 10,000 albums (back in the days of records)! I knew early on that I wanted music to be a part of my life. I could not get enough of it. From Rock and R&B to Reggae and Jazz, I've always LOVED music. I was never really able to master playing an instrument, so I mastered the art of playing records....then CD's...now MP3's!

Career Highlights:
I began in radio as a teenager, working in Boston at WBZ and WBZ-FM (1975). Over the years I've also worked in San Francisco, Miami, and Tampa. Additionally, I have done daily shows (remotely) In New York, Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh and Charlotte. The majority of my radio career was spent in Boston working at Clear Channel's KISS 108 (1982-2003). Now I am here at the B!

Other career highlights:
-Fill in for Casey Kasem on AT40 (when he did it) for past five years/now fill in for Casey on AT20.

-Featured on violent video game Grand Theft Auto

Personal info:
I am a proud father, and a passionate pet owner. I love kids, animals music and food!
My hobbies include snowboarding, cooking and sleeping when I can.
Greatest brush with fame:

I had lunch with Bob Marley. I have met and interviewed many musicians, but this was my greatest moment.

Some of my favorite artists include:
Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Al Green, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Nirvana, Jay Z, U-2, Beatles, Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Neil Young, Elton John, Johnny Cash, And at least 100 other artists: ALL MY FAVORITES!
Great music feeds our souls.

I am very lucky to be able to play music for a living....(even though I can't sing a note!)
