So you want to know about me, huh? Well, I've lived here in Greater Danbury all my life, born and raised baby! I got into radio because I always liked music and loved helping my pops fix his Wurlitzer jukeboxes when I was really little. Okay, I'm a big radio nerd, who's kidding who here! Over the past decade I've worked in various parts of the radio station, but programming is by far my favorite and most fun. I also DJ at lots of local events and bars throughout the year so you might recognize me from outside the radio station. I don't have lots of free time, but when I do I spend it in the gym, as it keeps me out of trouble! And of course, I listen to country when I workout, the best music there is! You might also find me out on Candlewood Lake during the summer months soaking in the rays. Thanks for tuning in every afternoon here on KICKS 105.5!
