Birthday: May 22
Birthplace: New York City
Why did I choose radio: I grew up listening to legendary Top 40 station 77 WABC/New York, and I was hooked for life!
Funniest Radio Story: While I was the Program Director at Top 40 station 96KISS in Nashville in 1985, the Arista Records label representative called and asked if I would make time to meet their newest recording artist. I told her I was extremely busy that week with meetings and things and couldn't do it. That new recording artist: Whitney Houston! (oops)
Something You May Not Know About Me: I do 90% of the cooking in our home....probably because I do 90% of the eating!
