FAVORITES:
Band or artist: Led Zeppelin/Robert Plant… non Zeppelin related I like Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, REM, Stone Temple Pilots and Godsmack just to name a few.

President: Reagan
Biggest mistake: Not seeing Bob Seger when I had a chance in 1996 (I made up for it in April of 2013)
I went into radio because: It wasn’t as fun as accounting
When I hit the lottery: No one would ever know
People would be surprised to know: I’ve never tried coffee

I can’t get enough: Free food and losses by Notre Dame or Ohio State
Role model: Ernie Harwell, Chuck Barris, Benny Hill, Andy Kaufman and my parents
Most embarrassing moment: Have my jacket “adjusted” by some safety pins at a company party, one sleeve was shorter than another. Took me a while to figure out what was going on.
