I'm a Jennings, La., native who started in radio while in high school in 1995. I got a bachelor’s degree in broadcasting in 2002 – which would have been a brilliant career move if this was 1972. I moved halfway across the nation in a hatchback with a diabetic cat to be in El Paso. I've worked under a variety of different radio names in the last 15 years, probably because I'm also secretly a spy. I once met Laura Bush and took a picture of her hot-pink toenails – true story. I'm pretty much a big ol’ geek (or is it a spaz?), and I'm kinda funny lookin’.
