My hometown is Warren, Michigan where I grew up as the third child in my family. Sorry, I don’t know Eminem. I eventually came to the East Lansing/Lansing area to attend Michigan State University. After many Michigan winters and a lot of snow shoveling, I decided to move to Hawaii in 1990 to make aloha shirts for 10 months.

When I returned to Michigan, I graduated with a degree in Telecommunication from MSU. As most graduates from a Big Ten university do, I went to work as a disc jockey in Lansing (WILS AM/FM), then in Grand Rapids (WBCT FM). I ended up at Lansing Community College by way of radio station WLNZ. My interests turned from radio to the Internet and brought me into teaching Internet-related courses at LCC. My wife and I have 3 kids who we homeschool.

We are involved in our church and I still work on-air on the weekends at a Michigan radio station.
