I grew up in East Aurora, N.Y., and am the youngest of five kids. After attending East Aurora High School, I went on to graduate from Canisius College. It’s amazing how fast time has gone and hard to believe that I have been a part of WYRK’s staff for over 20 years. My wife Elizabeth, our beautiful boys Harrison (Hank) and Theodore (Teddy) and Ferguson (Gus) our two dogs, Pepper and Lucy, and I all squeeze in to a house in the Town of Hamburg. When I’m not on the air or writing for our website, I love being outside. Hunting, fishing, working around the house -- if it’s outdoors, count me in! I am a big fan of traditional country and George Strait music. I have a goal (dream?) of having a small ranch someday and maybe even raise a few cows. I look forward to helping people in any way I can and being a part of Western New York’s mornings every week!
