I'm pretty much an open book. Good or bad, I share my life here and on the radio weekdays. I'm a quirky and random guy who enjoys concerts, documentaries, watching Parks and Rec over and over again (I can quote full episodes), and trying to make the people around me happy. Fun facts: I sleep with 7 sheets on the bed, peeling one layer off every day. Yeah, I'm weird. I love hangin’ with my dog Bogart and I'm an advocate for those struggling with their mental health.
