So I am the newest member of the Country 92.5 team. Thanks to everyone on the staff and all the GREAT listeners I have already talked to and met - you are the best! A little about me, - I was born and spent the better part of my youth growing up in North Jersey, so naturally I know every Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi song by heart. My country roots spring from my years spent in Pennsylvania where I attended High School and later Millersville University near Lancaster, PA. I was a Communications major and minored in horse-and-buggy maintenance. After a number of years in radio and not wanting to re-enter the long hours of buggy building I found my way to Hartford and on air at Country 92.5. Aside from radio, I try to be out-and-about with what's going on around town. I like to travel when possible. I am also enjoy sketching ( maybe I'll post a drawing online one of these days) .
