I like loud rock and roll and Family Guy reruns. I am a beer snob of the highest order and think Jerry Garcia’s birthday oughta be a national holiday. I have been with KRXO since about ’91, graduated from OU in 93, wish strip malls and chain stores would stop ruining the view of great Oklahoma sunsets and I love to fish.
Other than that, my turn ons are peanut butter and feathers and long walks through the CD section at Best Buy. My turn offs are writing bio’s of myself.

In radio since Reagan was president and, at KRXO since Bush the first, I have honed my Classic Rock chops by not only listening to, but also by studying the music and artists that mean so much to ‘our music.’ I love live music and have seen just about every classic rocker to come down the ‘pike.
My family life includes a loving wife since 1994 and a son who, oddly enough, loves music and radio and a lot of the stuff that dear old dad does. I miss Rainbow Records and browsing through stacks of CDs (like I need anymore!).
