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.
