Back in the day, I was a guitar picker with the bands Legend and Shadow Facts before I started a career in radio. I have developed a pretty serious knowledge of classic rock over the past 30 plus years--people call me the local Rock God. I miss the days when the most important things in my pocket were the keys to my Chevy Impala and a beer koozie for wherever I was headed. When I'm not talking about music, picking guitar for fun with the band Jam Castle, or chilling at Bike Night, I'm hanging out with the wifey and dog.
