I’ve been working in radio for about 10 years. It started as a part-time weekend job as a student at State Fair Community College in the mid-2000s. I eventually transferred to UCM in Warrensburg where I worked at the campus radio station for about a year. After UCM, I moved back to Sedalia and had the opportunity to work at Townsquare Media. I absolutely love being a part of the Sedalia community and listening to 90s alternative music. In my free time, I attempt to play the guitar (attempt being the operative word). I also enjoy reading and catching up on movies that have been out for 10+ years that I'm seeing for the first time. Mostly I’m a huge nerd who has an undying love for Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
