I've been hesitant to submit a bio because, let's be honest, who really cares about me? So for those of you that have stumbled upon this, and aren't related to me, thank you.

My radio career started at WHPK 88.5 FM, the fine University of Chicago radio station. I'm sure many of you might recall listening to me between 6 — 9 am every other Wednesday morning. It was at WHPK where I developed the irritating trait of feeling that my taste in music is superior to everybody else's. After many glorious years at WHPK, I realized that I was spending too much time writing Top Ten Record lists that nobody read; paying too much money for "limited edition" colored vinyl, and wasting too many hours proclaiming that The Jesus Lizard would be the next Nirvana. It was time to make the jump to commercial radio.

I started my work with The Steve Dahl Show in September of 1996. Since that time, I've been called on to do many tasks including setting off Steve's home security alarm, talking incessantly on the air, and being in charge of the enormously popular "Live Read" program. Of course, the most satisfying job of my young career at WCKG was when I was called upon to take care of Steve's dog Chamois. I remain intensely loyal to The Steve Dahl Show and plan on staying here for as long as I'm needed. In my free time I enjoy reading The Onion aloud to anybody who will listen.
