Thanks for spending your workday with me! I'm happy to play great songs for you while you're on the job. When I'm not on the air hosting the Midday show, I spend time working on my voice over business, volunteering with Rotary, and hanging out with my dear family and friends, including the 4 legged canine kind. I enjoy seeing concerts, plays, and movies. I also make good use of my remote control, catching up on favorite shows like This Is Us, Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Grey's Anatomy, Younger, and Project Runway. I love to travel and hope to get to another wonderful destination soon.

My Thoughts on the Roseanne Story and Why The Show Should Stay on the Air
Roseanne's show reflected what's going on in families around the country. Politics are divisive. Siblings are disagreeing. The episodes gave voice to people like you and me and helped us understand the perspective of the other side. So how about the cast and crew stay on the job? They could change the name of the show but keep all the great characters except Roseanne. Or should they keep her?
