I was born in Detroit, MI. in 1962, where my father worked for the Chrysler Corp. and mother worked for the US Navy.
As a paperboy in Metro Detroit, I would get up at 4 AM, read the paper and deliver to over 100 customers. During that time, I enjoyed listening to the many radio stations Detroit and Canada offered, news mixed with music and that exposure fed my interest in sharing information and desire to be on the radio.
At age 15, we moved to Florida, where I graduated from Charlotte High School in Punta Gorda and met the love of my life, Rhonda. Rhonda’s dad was an Air Force pilot, Vietnam veteran and served for 20 years. I have the highest respect for him and my granddad, who served in the US Navy during WWII and spent the rest of his years working at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Pursuing my love for information and news as a young paperboy, I am now enjoying a wonderful radio career, serving for the last 17 years as the morning show host of WSKY 97.3 FM radio Gainesville and surrounding area.
I have always admired the warrior mindset of our military and willingness to sacrifice for our nation. Now is my opportunity to give back and appreciate the hard-fought freedoms that we enjoy, serving on the board at Soldiers Freedom Outdoors. It is my pleasure to do my small part to help and heal our Warriors. I am grateful and feel blessed for the opportunity.
