I got my start in broadcasting at my local high school, broadcasting basketball games for the local cable station. From there, my passion grew. Sports have always played a big role in my life and being able to broadcast local high school sports has been a great joy for me. I am frequently reminded of how many talented student-athletes we have in southeast Minnesota. When not touring to several gyms and fields across southeast Minnesota for 103.1 KFIL and FUN 104, I write and broadcast local news for News-Talk 1340 KROC-AM and 96.9 FM. I grew up and currently live in Stewartville with my wife, our daughter, and our dog. I love the Twins, Vikings, Wild, Wolves, and Gophers and don't regret one minute of the heartbreaks it causes me. If you ever see me out and about, stop and say hi!
