[edit] Mini-Biography

I grew up in the Midwest, living for ten years in the small, remote town of Milan, Kansas. During those years, I attended Argonia Public Schools in Argonia, Kansas. From there, I moved to Wellington, Kansas for six months, and then to Winfield, Kansas, where I graduated from Winfield High School in 1989. After several years of college and numerous odd jobs, I joined the United States Army in 1995. I was stationed for three years at Fort Hood, Texas in the 104th Military Intelligence Battalion, U.S. 4th Infantry Division. I was honorably discharged and awarded the Army Commendation Medal in 1997 at the end my initial, three-year enlistment in the elite Military Intelligence Corps. I graduated from Evangel University in Springfield, MO in 2000 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications (Broadcast Journalism), a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Sciences (Government), and certifications to teach both at the middle school and high school levels. In 2001, I earned further certification, to teach Special Education. I am currently in my sixth year of teaching Special Education in the public school setting.

At 99 Hit FM, I serve as the station's American Idol correspondent, host the popular "Concert After the Concert" series, and co-host the KADI Shopping Show (formerly Valueline), which is simulcast on 1340 AM KADI.

As an on-air personality, I have interviewed numerous Contemporary Christian Music artists including Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Third Day, Jars of Clay, and Rich Mullins. I have also interviewed a number of Country music artists, including LeAnn Rimes and Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts.

Prior to 99 Hit FM, I was an on-air personality at six other radio stations in Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri, including commercial radio stations WDBR 103.7 FM, WTAX 1240 AM, KSOK 1280 AM, and KWKS 94.3 FM. I was also a disc jockey at college radio stations KSWC 100.3 FM (Southwestern College (Kansas)) and KECC 98.1 FM (Evangel University). During my time at KECC, I served in a number of position including station manager, music director, and program director. I also hosted the conservative talk show, "America: Under Fire".
