These are a few of my favorite things: Kayaking, watching NFL football with friends (Go Cardinals—hey, everybody’s got a dream), spicy food, Halloween (you get to be whoever you want to be and it comes with treats), fitness mags, and cooking.
Pet Peeve: People who use the passing lane as their own personal stretch of road (anyone traveling the McKay during rush hour knows those people…grrrr).
Favorite Radio Moments: Interviewing Melissa Etheridge and Walter Gretzky (not at the same time); flying in a Sea King (yeah, I know) and landing on the back of HMCS Iroquois in the Bay of Fundy; showing Leslie Neilson to the bathroom; and various occasions on the wave wake up show!

If you could vist anywhere in the world on your next vacation where would you go? NYC.
Why Radio? Growing up I was always getting into trouble for talking too much, and a lot of that talking was about music! I would joke that when I was grown, I would find a job that required me to talk, and a lot. I love music, I love to talk, I love to talk about music. You get the idea ;)
