I’m originally from the Pittsburgh area (black 'n' gold baby!), near Monroeville. The family later moved near Seven Springs Ski resort. No I don't ski, but I've tried it and I liked it. Softball and volleyball were my passion back then.  I went to college at West Liberty STATE COLLEGE to become a dental hygienist. That was fine until I discovered radio. I have a B.S. in BS…I mean “Communications”.  

I began working in radio before I graduated.  My resume includes radio stations in Ohio, PA and WV.  I've carried many titles at those stations: air personality, production director and copywriter, and program director.  A few awards from the West Virginia Broadcasters Association adorn my walls along with a few gold, silver and platinum records and lots of backstage photos. Yes, I've met a lot of rock stars. Some of the most memorable have been Rush, Bob Seger, and Metallica.

Outside the rooms with the padded walls, I love golfing, walking the trails at Oglebay-almost every evening in the summertime, lots of reading and going to movies, and trying any new recipe—although I’d rather dine out.  I make my own soap (weird huh) and I hate beer. I do a little gardening and have entered a few things in the Ohio County Fair (and have won a few ribbons).  

I could spend hours and hours fishing on Lake Pymatuning in PA, (and, I have), then cooking over an open fire while sippin' on a glass of Lambrusco or a good Scotch with a splash of water and a lime wedge, or gin with diet seven-up and a lemon wedge-very refreshing!

Oh, and my favorite colors:  black, beige, pink and green.  My favorite foods: chicken, salmon, and raspberries.  And, the only tv show I watch with any regularity is South Park. 

I would rather "...go for a nice walk, smell that air, feel the temperature, hold onto the sense of the moment, take a drift on a trail, look deeply into the stream.  That means so much more than all the artifice in the world." -Dolly Parton (Nat'l Geo. Traveler Jul/Aug. 2009)
