I've been in love with radio since my high school mass media teacher told me I should be on the radio after hearing me voice a class commercial. Fast forward through years of chasing stories and broadcasting the news, and here I am—still getting a thrill every single day behind the microphone. After 25 years leading a news department in Springfield, I made the exciting leap to Zimmer in December 2020, where I now juggle being news director and operations manager for KWTO-AM and JOCK 96-9. What keeps me hooked? The pure magic of radio—where every day is a new and exciting challenge and I get to be a source of information and entertainment for our listeners.
When I'm not talking into a microphone, you'll find me living my best Ozarks life with my wife Chris—who's also in radio and just happens to be my favorite co-conspirator in life. We're the kind of couple who met at a radio station back in 1995 and got married three years later. These days, I'm not just a radio guy—I'm a mini golf tournament competitor who takes his putting seriously. In the summer of 2024, I joined the Putt Tour and started competing in live-streamed tournaments in Branson. Between official scoring at Springfield Cardinals games and navigating pro mini golf tournaments, I'm proving that life is about embracing every opportunity—just like on the radio.
