I was born and raised right here in the Rockford area. I graduated from Harlem High School in 1997. After bouncing around the suburbs for awhile, I decided to go into radio about 6 years ago. I spent four of those at 670 WSCR The Score as an afternoon producer before I made my way back home here at WROK. I'm loving it so far and hope to be here for quite awhile. Thanks for listening!
