I’m a Grand Forks native, went to Red River high school and later UND.  Yeah, you probably met me in jail once.

Some other things you may not know about me (all of these are the Gospel truth, by the way…)

1. I used to jump out of airplanes for a living until my father, in his infinite wisdom, told me, “Son, only birdsh*t and fools fall out of the sky.”  My dad.
2. I have a B.A. in English – which is why, of course, I’m in radio.  Go figure.
3. I actually made my own authentic suit of medieval chainmail armor over the winter of 1998.  It weighs almost 40 pounds.  You know those things that SEEM like a good idea at the time???
4. I can say a “certain insult” (the middle finger one) in 14 languages.  Mom is SO proud.
5. I actually own a Les Paul electric guitar signed by the late, great Bo Diddley.
6. I’m blessed with three beautiful kids – Alex, Jessie and Nick
7. I’ve been collecting comic books since I was seven years old.  I have a lot of them.  That is an understatement.
8. I truly believe that EVERYONE on this planet has a secret, unique superpower.  Mine is the ability to remember the dumbest, most obscure minutiae about every song I’ve ever heard.  Hey, I make a living with it.
9. I am a HARDCORE Oakland Raiders fan, and have been since they beat the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI.
10. The first concert I ever saw was KISS, at the Chester Fritz Auditorium.  I was seven years old.  I’m still a rabid, slavering member of the KISS Army to this day.  I’ve gotten in fistfights over them, lost a girlfriend over them and nearly been fired from my job because of them.  I actually MET Ace Frehley on his solo tour when he came to Fargo a couple years back.  I had him sign my arm.

Any other details are so boring that you’d succumb to narcolepsy if I shared them with you.

As the designated “utility guy” for KJ, I can’t tell you when to listen for me.  I fill in for the other lazy bastards when they don’t feel like actually showing up for work.  I just sort of…show up.  Just like herpes.  Enjoy!
