Texas born and Texas proud! I’ve got tattoos to prove it!! I got my start in radio in 1989. Worked all over Texas including an 8 year stint in Houston. My passion is country music, and the country music lifestyle! I keep my finger pressed firmly on the pulse of the Texas/Red Dirt scene, and pass along the exciting new music, and artists that I get to experience. I have two amazing children. My son Zackary, 16 years old, and in the Marine Corp JROTC! He’s my boy! My daughter Zara is my little princess, and 7 years old. I love my children, my family, my friends, and my God! I get to work in the greatest job, with the greatest people in the world every….single….day! It’s good to be home.
