After finishing college with a degree in theatre, I felt God leading me away from the theatre life, and toward something else.  I just didn’t know what that “something else” was yet!  So, I did what any theatre kid fresh out of college would do, I got a job at Starbucks.  During that time, I dreamt of what my future would entail, would I become a cartoonist?  Children’s entertainer?  Something involving bears? (Side Note: I LOVE bears) Then one day I thought “What about radio?”  I knew NOTHING about radio, so I decided to google, How Do You Get Into Radio?  The answer led me to my local radio station to simply ask, “Do you need any part time help?”  Over 11 years later, I still have to pinch myself that I get to be in Christian radio, and that I get to be your Afternoon Show Host on Life 97.3, hanging out with you every day in the Northland!

When I’m not spending afternoons with you, you’ll find me with my wonderful wife, Lara, 6 year old son, Sylvan, 4 year old little girl, Samara, 1 year old little boy, Everett, and our little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Cricket…it’s a blessedly busy household!  If I’m not home…I’m probably in the woods (trying to find those bears)…or watching my beloved MN Twins!
