About Me:

I was part of Fort Dodge radio, back when it was live, local, and FUN to listen to! Did nights on KKEZ (Z-94) from August, 1986 - March, 1987. Then, we moved KRIT (Super 97) from Clarion into Fort Dodge. I did nights there from May - November, 1987. Fun times and a great place for a "Baby DJ" to get his start in high-energy Top 40 radio!

Being too young to know better, I went by "The Minnesota Maniac" on-the-air. Amazingly enough, I did not get run out of town for this stunt. However, I was only 41 minutes into my first show when I received my first "Minnesota joke" on the request line!

Favorite Music:

Top 40 hits of the 1970s and 1980s. Especially the more obscure hits and "one-hit wonder" artists. Examples: Billy Branigan, Blue Magic, Daniel Boone, Mocedades, the Partland Brothers, the Addrisi Brothers, Eruption, Focus, Henry Lee Summer, Greg Guidry, and Marshall Crenshaw.

If you know who these artists are, you're my kind of people. If you have the original 45s of their songs, you belong on my list of heroes!

Favorite TV Shows:

My TV is either on FOX News, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, or The Weather Channel.
