I was born in the southern U.S. and raised by a 21 year Marine Corps Vietnam Vet and his hard working, successful, Tennessee born bride. They set the bar pretty high for their three kids...so I decided to just walk under it and go into radio at age 16. After years of "town to town, up and down the dial", I made my way to Billings in 2005. That turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It lead to a great job, and the love of my life, my daughter, Eliana. I'm happy to be raising her in a place with a great mix of conservative family values and progressive ideas about inclusion and embracing the differences in people (provided they are not too liberal or from California).

Shed Your Winter Coat With Laser Hair Removal
I just felt the need to point out that laser hair removal isn't just for women. There are plenty of guys out there sporting a carpet on their back that they're not exactly proud of. The folks at Montana Medical Aesthetics invited me to have this procedure about a year ago so I could share my experience. I'm not a super hairy guy, but I did have enough to notice (especially when wet at the pool).
Best Administrative Day Professionals Gift Ever
Here at Cat Country, our director of first impressions is Mackenzie. Mackenzie isn't pictured in the photo because she's enjoying the gift of time off. In her place, a bell that annoys our business manager
I Have One of the Worst Jobs in America – Do You?
People like the Flakes (there aren't many) will endure for as long as they wish. If there is something happening in Billings, those two are on top of it before it makes headlines. Often times, they're the ones making headlines with some sort of community service. That's the kind of radio that will always be relevant. For DJ's that just play a few songs and go home, I'd say they deserve a spot on the list since there is a short shelf life on that career.
Post Your Taxidermy You’re Proud Of or Ashamed Of
If you've got a great looking trophy, feel free to share. Better yet, if you've got something in your house that you swear you'll burn the day after your husband dies, I'd love to see that even more.
What To Do With the Kids When School is Out
If you've got a full time job and a kid who's not old enough to be left at home to their own devices all day, summer can be a challenge.
Whose Fault Was This Laundry Snafu?
First, "Dry Clean Only" means wear it until it stinks, then hand it down to your cousin...we're not "Dry Clean" people. Second, complaining about the laundry is a great way to inherit the chore of doing your own laundry.
Avengers End Game Advanced Tickets
If you want to lock down some seats, you'd better get moving (at least for the I-Max at Shiloh 14).

Falling Asleep Fast Might Be A Bad Sign
I recently learned that it's actually not a great sign if you fall asleep that fast. It might indicate that you're generally over tired or maybe that the sleep you get isn't that great.
Must Have Easter Dinner Side
These hideous tubors aren't very appetizing in this form, but that's nothing a couple of sticks of butter, various sugars, flour, eggs, pecans, cinnamon, cream cheese and pretzels can't fix.
Shows Worth More Than One Binge
Usually, once is enough for me. I really enjoyed Breaking Bad, but I'm not sure I'll ever give it another run. So far, the only show that's been worth a second group of binge watching sessions is Justified.
