Let’s talk music. I simply love the music we play. I’ve long been a music collector and once I got past the joy of collecting the music, it was a natural step for me to want to play it on the radio. It still amazes me how hearing that one song can transport you back to a fun memory or a great event in your life. That’s where the music takes us. The music we play is undoubtedly the best ever made from when we grew up (understand that “grew up” is a relative term here). And this is where you’ll hear it all; the pop, the rock, the soul and more! How can you not feel good when hearing this music?
For me, the icing on the cake is not only that I get to play this great music but I get to start the day doing so. Oh, I know for some (eh, many), mornings can be a tough start but everyday I really look forward to getting up, getting on-the-air and having fun. We talk about some of the wacky goings on in the world and overall just have a great time! I still think…wow…play all this great music and have fun? Sign me up! “The most fun radio, on radio?…yeah, I’m having it!”

If I sound like I’m having fun, it’s because I am! This is the most fun radio on radio and for me, it’s the most fun job I’ve ever had! It’s a blast being on the air playing my favorite songs and I can’t think of a better place to be than Magic 102.5!

To say that I love what I do on the air would be an understatement. Every show is a labor of love and quite often it’s taken me 24 hours to prepare for each show! When I say that I eat, sleep and live this stuff is a literal statement.
I’ve never studied music formally but rather as a hobby since I was a child so much of what you hear has been deeply embedded in my persona. All the back ground info is often based on real life experience. When folks like Stephen Stills is coming over to our house to visit my Dad, I have learned things that I’m sure has never been documented and of course I’m happy to share them on the air with you!
