I grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, surviving on a steady diet of Joe Walsh, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin and other REAL rock 'n roll artists. I moved to Colorado in the mid-80's and began my radio career there, working all over the state including Aspen and Vail. I moved to the Stateline in April 2001 and am lucky to call it home. My 2 boys go to school here and we have our favorite record shops, restaurants and hangouts spread out all over the Stateline!

When I plop down on my couch to watch multi-million dollar commercials, I gotta have a giant bowl of wings in front of me.

Funniest Slow Motion Run on the Beach You’ll See [VIDEO]
The horrible TV show Baywatch is seen by 90 billion people in 346 countries throughout the world everyday. That may be a bit much, but it's a hell of a lot more than you think.
