It'll be over 20 years that I've been the news and public affairs director at WOKQ and The SHARK, and almost my 50th year in this crazy world of radio! When I am not here at the station, I am usually playing golf, mowing my lawn or hanging with my dogs, Ella and Maddie. If we meet on the street, I will bend you ear bragging about my son, my daughters and my two grandsons (although they live in New York and are Yankees fans!). I like dark beers, warm pool water and reading a good book in front of the fireplace. And world peace.
