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

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.
