1st Post!

Hello!

I'm pleased to add my first post to my brand new blog courtesy of KFIZ!

In case you haven't noticed, I am the new guy around the block and I couldn't be happier. The entire crew here at KFIZ have welcomed me in with open arms and I thank you for welcoming me via your radio.

Since I'm the new guy, I figured I should share some information to help you get to know who I am and where I come from.

I was born in Appleton and lived in New London until I was around three or four years of age. I don't remember much about living there other than having the chicken pox, riding my big wheel, and running in fear from the neighbor's dog who chased me only because I ran. (I was three, how should I know that if you stop running the dog does too?!) My family then moved to Oshkosh which is where I spent most of my time growing up. I went through elementary, middle, and high school in Oshkosh and graduated as an Oshkosh West Indian/Wildcat.

After high school, I went to Ripon College and originally wanted to pursue a career in theatre. One semester into my four years in college the acting bug apparently left me and I decided radio was for me. Four years later I graduated with a Mass Media Management Major and a minor in Theatre. That puts me right here in the mix at KFIZ!

I grew up with two sisters and strong family ties (much like Michael J. Fox did!). I am a huge football fan and I just recently got into hockey as well courtesy of some great friends. Other interests include the typical lot: movies, music, and video games (more on that in another post). I'm not a huge fan of TV but there are a few shows that I'll watch that aren't sports related: Rescue Me, Scrubs, and Lost.

That about sums it up for the first post. If you have any questions what-so-ever, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for welcoming me into the KFIZ family!
