How did you get into radio? I'm a masochist, so it's a perfect fit.
Are you married? Nein!
Best thing about working for Rock 103: The music. The community. Our listeners. It's not just a job, it's a way of life.
Hobbies: Verbally flogging people who abuse animals, free booze, reading, zombies, pissing off people who annoy me, smoking, playing with my fire breathing hell hound, building my dungeon... the usual stuff.

On the street you're usually mistaken for: a stressed out drunk. Oh, wait...
If you could bring back any artist from the great beyond: Layne Staley
Reality show you would most like to be on and why: I loathe "reality" programming. If I could create my own, though, it'd be "Watch Dave Grohl and Dawn Cox get drunk and act like rabid, rock 'n roll dorks". I'd totally watch that.

Die-hard sports fans are passionate about the teams they love, but also the teams they hate.
The hatred is so bad that sometimes fans will root against a rival team more than they're rooting for their favorite team ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
According to Guyism.com, here are 12 of the most-hates teams in sports.
12. University of Miami football
11. San Francisco 49ers
10. Boston Celtics
9. Detroit Red Wings
8. University of Southern California football
7. Boston Red Sox
6. New England Patriots
5. Los Angeles Lakers
4. Notre Dame football
3. Dallas Cowboys
2. Duke basketball
1. New York Yankees
Admittedly, I LOATHE Duke men's basketball. I carry that hatred from the 1992 East Regional Finals against the University of Kentucky Wildcats. And it's not beause Christian Laettner made an amazing shot (I do give credit where credit is due) but because of his behavior earlier in the game (stomping on the chest of a UK player... anyone else would've been ejected from the game, but not Laettner).
Due to the favoritism showed to Duke that evening, and the heartbreak suffered by those in the bluegrass (seriously, coming off the debacle that was Eddie Sutton's tenure?!?!?!) - I root against Duke every chance I get. It's insane, and I know that - but it doesn't change my feelings about them.
The lockout is still in progress, and now NBA players and staff have taken to the streets to raise money so they can maintain their livelihood. Check out this Jest.com parody and let us know if you feel moved to donate -- all they need is $200-million or so to get going.
William Shatner's new album, Seeking Major Tom, has him covering a wide variety of space-themed songs. To add to the weirdness of it, he's just released a video for his take on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." It has to be seen to be believed.
... on my home from work. I'd stopped to pick up food for the hell beast and some cold medicine, when a fella approaches me and asks if I know much about cell phones. I really don't, but I ask what I can help him with.
He's needing to delete his calls but doesn't know how.
Red flags instantly go up, I laugh and tell him I'm not going to help him hide his shadiness. He mentions something about politics and just trying to keep the peace. I'm still laughing and assure him that's much easier than he thinks, DON'T DO STUFF YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO and you've nothing to worry about.
But, alas, I'm cursed with being alittle too altruistic, and he had this sad, lil' puppy dog look on his face so I offer to take a look at his phone. I figure out how to do it and when he goes to delete all his calls, it asks for a password. A password he never set for his phone. A password someone else did.
A someone who was going to nail his ass to a wall, as his expression went from sad puppy dog to "oh s#!+" in a fraction of a second.
And all I could think was "good for her".
I laughed, wished him luck and headed to the check out.
And this isn't the first time someone's asked me to help them cover their cheating / shadey / lying ways.... and these are total frickin' strangers!!! What's even more amusing is how offended they look when I politely tell them to screw off.

In Bakersfield, California, a skydiving instructor has been fired and a skydiving school is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration after a couple had sex in freefall.
A video of the skydiving sex stunt was making the rounds at local schools, which caught the attention of the FAA.
The video shows the couple having sex in a plane before jumping out in tandem and continuing the act midair.
The FAA is concerned that the pilot might have been distracted during the incident.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says any activity that could distract the pilot while he's flying could be a violation of federal regulations.
Skydive Taft owner David Chrouch says he fired part-time skydiving instructor and porn star Alex Torres and hasn't decided whether to fire the company's receptionist, Hope Howell, who he said was Torres' partner in the video.
So where's the oddest place you've gotten it on? Let us know on the Rock 103 Facebook Page.
