My son asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and before I could answer, he told me I was going to be Wonder Woman. I’m going to stick with that for life! I love pink lemonade, rainy Sunday afternoons in bed with Netflix, classic country music played on my record player, cuddling with my kiddo, road trips, singing in the shower, and the way the world looks when everything blooms in the spring and when it turns to gold and red in the fall. Why did that sound like a personals ad? Oh, and you never know what color my hair may be. I go from red, brown, and blonde throughout the year. Now, let's get to the real thing you want to know, how did I end up in radio? My first dream was to be a pickle farmer, but I ate more pickles than I sold. My second dream was to be a scuba diving pizza delivery girl, but I found out sharks really like pizza and I was done. So, my third dream was to be in radio. Lucky me, this radio gig worked out! I’ve been in radio since 2006 and I have loved every minute! I love my listeners!

I’m originally form Wyoming. I started my radio career at the tender age of 14 at my home town radio station, KASL in Newcastle, Wyoming. I then worked my way through KROE AM/FM in Sheridan, WY and KVOC in Casper, WY (All during the 80s) before making the move to Oklahoma City.

My first job in OK was at KEBC. I then spent 9 years at KOMA (I would mention working at a radio station in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, but I was only there for about 5 months before I’d had enough Caribbean Paradise!) Then back to OKC where I worked at KKNG for the first decade of the 2000s!

Now I’m in Ada and having fun on the radio again, and I love the afternoon show because I can sleep in and stay up late and still be at work on time… more or less!

I’ve been a drummer for as long as I’ve been in radio. Currently I play with a band called Dr. Smith out of OKC and a band called The Regular Joes out of Midwest City.
