Moment you knew you wanted to be in Radio: Back in my High School Photography class, a representative from my then College came in to tell us all about the Photography program there and while looking over the booklet I noticed that they had a Radio Broadcasting program there as well. Seeing that took my memory back in time to when I was younger and how I always loved the radio as well how all the On-Air personalities got to do all these awesome things and that someday I would be on their making people smile and saying “Dude that sounds AWESOME” the way it did for me.

Best Concert: It was at the Minnesota State Fair 2010: Seether with Black Stone Cherry & Special Guest Hinder. My best friend knew that I really wanted to go to this show but I didn’t have the cash to get tickets, so as a gift she got them (they were a late College Graduation gift too). The most MASSIVE mosh pit that I have ever been in my LIFE!
