I'm a lifelong resident of western Pennsylvania, having grown up in Leechburg, Armstrong County. I've spent my entire radio career (1985-present) in the Pittsburgh market, and I especially enjoy taking your requests on Star 100.7's Whatever You Want Weekends! I can also be heard from time to time as a fill-in traffic reporter on sister station Newsradio 1020 KDKA. A few other quick facts: Family: Wife Leigh Anne, cats Smokey (a.k.a., "Steve McQueen") & Lucky (a.k.a, "Luscious Jackson"). College: I'm a proud Penn Stater. Favorite pasttimes: Going to the movies, especially drive-ins. (Yes, there are still a few around this area!) Also: road trips with my wife, community theater, improv comedy, long strolls through Pittsburgh neighborhoods, poker (Texas hold 'em or other variations). Favorite foods: Meat loaf, peanut butter, a good bowl of cereal. Favorite beverages: Anything with caffeine. Favorite movies: Annie Hall, The Apartment, Chinatown, Day For Night, GoodFellas, The Searchers, Sherlock Jr. Favorite TV shows (current or recent): Arrested Development, The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage, The Gilmore Girls, Lost, My Name Is Earl, The Office (British & American versions), Scrubs, Veronica Mars. Cool celebrity encounters: Meeting Tony Bennett when I was eleven, chatting with Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne, drinking a toast with the band Chumbawamba on St. Patrick's Day. Dream vacation/ambition: Visit every drive-in theater still open in North America (about 400 as of last count). |
