Born and raised in Detroit, I came to Kalamazoo in the early 90's for school. After college I started my career in radio at the legendary 103.3 KFR. In the early 2000's I moved back to Detroit, jumped around to a number of radio stations, got my degree in American Sign Language, adopted a dog and bought a home. I have spent the last few years bar-tending and working at a dental office (brush and floss twice a day). I am back in the town I call home, Kalamazoo.
