I am NEVER without a book, and I only read non-fiction books. I'm Afraid Of: creepy crawler things like snakes, bugs, mice, etc! How Did You Get Into Radio? I knew from the age of 12 that I wanted to be in radio. I come from a very musical family where everyone in my family could either dance, sing, or play a instrument. I could not do any of those things! As you can imagine, being the youngest of five kids I had a lot of peer pressure in this area. So I told my family…you make the music, and I will play it on the radio! I have never done or wanted to do anything else in my life. I have been blessed.

How Did You Get Into Radio? Back at college #1, a friend told me I had to take a radio class with her, so I did. After one semester of radio classes, I got a job running a board at a station on the weekends during the overnight shift. For some reason, it seemed like a good idea so I stuck with it. I had a blast but took a step back to do journalism at one point. My love of radio never went away so I scoured the country until I found someone with a smart mouth and big laugh like myself. His name is Hitman and now we're on Power 93.9 every weekday morning from 6-10 together!

Favorite Foods: Number 43 with a Spring Roll from Saigon. Love me some Asian food and some good old fashioned home cooking! And grilled veggies.
You'd Never Know But I: …can fence. Not the put one up in my backyard type of fencing, but with swords. No joke. I used to participate in renaissance re-enactment and learned the art of sword fighting. It’s a great workout! The other extreme…I can knit.
I'm Afraid Of: Spiders and wild and poisonous snakes (even though I have two ball pythons that I think are the most fascinating creatures!) Oh. And balloons and clowns. Creepy…
How Did You Get Into Radio? At a young age, I always loved radio and have been obsessed with music. I never really considered making a career out of it until I enrolled in the wrong class in college (Audio Production) and I was hooked on the creation of commercials and promos for radio and TV. The next semester, I tried my hand at the on air personality side of things and went on to spend the next 8 years working in various aspects of radio and voice work. I love every single minute of it.
It is Rolls Royce check me out everyday Monday thru Friday 3pm to 7pm on Power 93.9! A little about me…I am born and raised in Wichita! Born at St. Francis Hospital, went to Black Elementary, Hadley Middle School (Go Blue Devils), and attended North High School (Go Redskins). I grew up on the Westside, (13th and West area), but now reside on the Northeast side of town. I have been in radio for 5 years. I started at 107.9 Jamz. I did nights there then joined the Power 93.9 family in January of 2008 and have been here ever since.
I am really into music. I have been DJing for 15 years. I got my first set of turntables in 1995! (You can do the math to see how old I am). You can also check me out doing the daily mixes on Power 93.9, and mixing at a club near you. I also have a severe addiction to Polo clothes. Hit me on facebook, twitter or myspace.
You So Stupid and Yous-less were probably the best/worst.
But the joke is on all my "haters" because now I live alone with my cat, have four years of college debt and get paid in food vouchers.
My college years would prove to be even crazier than the highschool days. Like one time my friends and I managed to create a enormously popular social networking website in one night! (craigslist)
I've lived in Wichita for only a year, but have had the opportunity to meet some of the kindest folk around. I now consider myself a Wichitan and a BIG fan of the Shockers. Hopefully I'll be able to stick around until they find someone who will work for less.
Until then, join me Monday thru Thursday from 7-10 and Fridays from 7-12 as I break down the interactive 8@8 and Battle of the Fresh Jams. Also, you'll always walk away feeling better about yourself comparably.
