Born and raised in Mankato, I have an AA from BLC, an AA from DLI, a BS from MSUM and I've never had a BLT from McD's. 

  In over 9 years of experience I've not only been fortunate enough to be on-air, but have managed a radio station, a magazine, a recording studio, a few bands and a few record labels.  I've also booked quite a few music venues and have spoken on panels at a few national music industry conventions.

  I am highly addicted to Twins baseball and hate the disease of the MLB (NY Yankees).  I'm a TRUE Vikings fan, but also love the Colts.  Hockey is fun live and basketball only gets exciting for me during March Madness or NBA finals.  I wish the Soccer World Cup was every 2 years - but that's enough for me.

A few short lists:
Favorite Bands - American Head Charge, August Burns Red, Machine Head, Mnemic, Alice In Chains, Taproot, Deftones, Fear Factory, Bobaflex

Favorite Local Bands (historically) - Diesl, Kill Switch, Skywynd, Angry Waters, Diskord, Redoverlunar, Hook Echo, B!, Align, Quazar, No Loving Place, Smilin Liar, Destrophy, Index Case, Sunset Black, Devilinside, Fifty Seven Stitch, Down & Above, Casanatra, Banehinge, Unruly Mob, Sound & Fury, SubLevel, Hatred, Houston, Lingo, White Knuckle Trip, The Goodyear Pimps and many more!
