Where did you grow up?  
Elkader, IA but I've lived in Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis) and Knoxville, TN (Go Vols!)  
 
Education?  
I have a B.A. in Broadcasting from the University of Northern Iowa.  
 
What's your best childhood memory?  
Riding the "silly Sylo", that thing that sucks you to the side before the bottom drops, 15 times in a row at " Adventureland." Now, I take my kids to Bells and Big Splash.  
 
Scariest radio experience?  
My most frightening experience was when I had to interview my first country artist. Sawyer Brown was coming to town and I talked with Mark Miller and after everything he said I'd say, "That's great!" Thank goodness I didn't do it live. After a little editing, it sounded fine.  
 
Best radio experience?  
Meeting everyone that listens to K95! I especially like being a part of events like the Relay for Life where I get to make a difference. Favorite country artist? Why?  
My favorite artist is Tim McGraw. I got to meet him at his first platinum party, and he was great. He always seems like the best dad adn the best husband and his music just keeps getting better.  
 
How did you get into radio?  
When I was in high school, my local radio station was looking for people to work on weekends. I started when I was 17 years old and just kept working in radio. Once you get involved, you just can't imagine getting out.  
 
What's your favorite sport?  
Football - Go Tennessee! But I also like bowling because I smoke Tom Carey every time...
