A bit about me

Hey Friends!
Wow ! It seems like such a long time since I started my radio career at WNCO. It was January 1980. Ashland High School had a program called Student Aid where a student could spend two class periods per day at the career business of their choice, provided of course that field was represented in the area and accepted interns. I have Mr. Minnich and Mrs. Schmandt to thank for getting me off on the right foot at school and John James for taking me under his wing here at the radio station. (John you still have one of the best voices this area has ever heard!) Graduation came, WNCO needed a weekend guy and that was me. The following January this became a full time job. You had a chance to hear me in the evenings, afternoons and briefly in the mornings before our fearless leader Colman arrived in 1984. In December of 1989 this facility became a low power cable TV station TV-59. In addition to my radio duties I became a TV sports anchor/videographer/editor covering the local and regional scene. After 18 amazing years at WNCO as disc jockey, music director, sports director I had the opportunity to expand my TV career while staying in the Mansfield area. I became a television weatherman. Fast-forward to January 2004 and the chance to rejoin the crew at WNCO came along and I jumped at it. My love for Country Music and Radio, and begging from the program director had alot to do with my return. I serve the company as Commercial Production Director (since March 05)and Afternoon Drive-Time announcer on Mid-Ohio's Country Giant WNCO. It's an honor to work for Colman, and work with Kelly, Gene and the rest of this radio family...and to hang out with you in the afternoons!

I make my home in Mansfield with my wife Kelly (Sheehan) and am the proud father of Sara who is now a graduate from nursing school and is working as an RN. Our yorkie Murphy passed on April 24, 2010 at the age of 14.

Argo was crowned Best Picture at Sunday’s Oscars. Best Actor went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln. Jennifer Lawrence took home Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook and Ang Lee was named Best Director for Life of Pi.

Argo’s director and star Ben Affleck broke down in tears recalling his first days in Hollywood while accepting the win with his producing partner George Clooney. Affleck gushed to wife Jennifer Garner in the audience and said, “There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do.” Presenter Jack Nicholson was joined by Michelle Obama from the White House to crown the night’s big winner.

Jennifer Lawrence took a tumble on the way to the stage in accepting Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook. It sparked a standing ovation that she asked to end over embarrassment.

Anne Hathaway was teary in accepting for Les Miserables. She beat out Amy Adams (The Master), Sally Field (Lincoln), Helen Hunt (The Sessions) and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook).

Christoph Waltz took home Best Supporting Actor for his turn as a bounty hunter in Django Unchained, beating nominees Alan Arkin (Argo), Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook), Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master) and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln).
