DJs

I am the news and programming director for WJEZ.

I started my broadcasting career at Lincoln College on WLNX in 1985 and did play by play of college volleyball, basketball and baseball.    My big break in the business would be on WSPY Plano and WAUR Aurora where I interned with their Sports Department in 1988 and 1989.   I started in Pontiac with Sports and Sales I have been with WJEZ for over 20 years.

My radio day starts early but I certainly enjoy it. I have interests in history, finance and Rome Total War gaming. (Which by the way, drives my wife nuts.) The next best place for me  to be other than behind the microphone  is behind the wheel of a tractor.

Never thought I'd be in radio and that people would actually pay me to talk! I've talked plenty, for free, all these years! This is the place where I'm supposed to tell you about myself,  my hobbies and blah blah blah! Wow! Just realized how truly boring I really am! Sorry! But catch me everyday, 10a to 2p on your FM dial at 98.9, you never know what I might be blabbing about!

Things you NEED to KNOW:

• I LIVE, BREATHE, & WORK MUSIC!
• I love to road-trip.
• I am a concert-snob.
• I speak fluent sarcasm!
• Words are everything.
• Silence is DEAFENING!
• Patience is a virtue that I DO NOT understand.
• I L*O*V*E* Summer, and H*A*T*E Winter!
• I love to be tan!
• I love flippies!

Those are the basics...here's more randomness...

I got into radio a little backwards...I was a music major at ISU, entered the "Wanna be a DJ contest on WBNQ" not to be confused with "Wanna be a VJ on MTV" and here I am today. I strongly believe that someone knew what I should be doing with my life, and I thank him every day. I am soo lucky to get to do what I love, I wish my happiness for everyone.

I also wish I could be more of an entrepenuer and invent something totally worthless, yet at the same time, make you think you CAN'T live without it.  Ahem *sham-wow, slap-chop, hair-bump, etc*

I also really LOVE ranch dressing and will drizzle, dip, and soak anything in it.

I'm trying to be more "wifey" and finally bought a crock-pot, so help me out and send me some of your favorite crock-pot recipes! I've got to prove to my boyfriend that i have more than one good meal in me :)

I have the COOLEST babies in the world, Jagger and Jinx and I LOVE animals, but I swear if I see that darn ASPCA commercial one more time (the one with Sarah Mclaughlin) I will freak out. I bawl my eyes out everytime...stop. please.
