I Started in Radio back in 1977 at age 15. I attended college at the University of Alaska - Fairbanks and it was there in the mid 80's I found my love for backpacking, hiking and making my own trail in life. Father to 3 amazing kids and engaged to the most beautiful, inside and out, woman in the world. My hobbies include charity work, riding motorcycles and doing anything outdoors.
