I started in radio in January of 1975 in my hometown of Butler, MO. Off and on I’ve been behind a microphone, either at a radio station or in a nightclub. I’m married, have six kids, and nine grandkids. I love watching the Kansas City Royals and old western TV shows and movies. I enjoy working with everyone at the station and our parent company, Townsquare Media. I love doing my part to make it fun to listen to the radio.

Beware of Scammers In Our Area During Adverse Weather
A couple of weeks ago my wife received a call on her cell phone. It was someone from a roofing company that wanted to set up an appointment to come by and look at our roof.
