I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was born in Portland Oregon, adopted at 5 days old and raised in an Irish/Catholic Railroading family. That probably explains my obsession with trains and model railroads. I was told my biological blood line is broken into quarters: British, Irish, French and Native American (but I could really give a rip 'cuz I am who I am). I lived the first 9 years of my life in Oregon and the rest has been here in Washington State. I have 3 kids, 2 daughters, Polly & Kara and 1 son, Vincent. I've been an established on-air country radio personality on KIX 96 Spokane, Washington. My station website: www.kix961.com and you can also hear us online. I'm also a songwriter pitching tunes to music publishers (so far a single song contract with "Writin'Half/SquareOne Records Nashville and more pending) and a member of Taxi (who helps songwriters get their songs heard by music industry heavy weights, check 'em out at www.taxi.com). You'll also find some of my co-songwriters at the top of my friends list like Daryn, Tara, Matthew, Troy Dunn of Neveready and others. That's my story "in a nutshell" and I'm stickin' to it! data="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u= 118998339"> .. .. .. .. ....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people and what they have to say which could help inspire me to write a song or to make for an entertaining topic on my radio show. Professionally, I would also like to meet most anyone who is creative in the media entertainment or music business. The biggest thrills for me, were meeting Johnny Cash back in '86, Chris LeDoux in '97, and another thrill was meeting the legendary shock rocker, Alice Cooper, on his '90 Trash Tour in Seattle...In person, he's nicer and more down home than some of the country stars I've met. GO FIGURE!!!!! I've met a countless number of performers in Country, Rock, Pop and R&B, but none impressed me as much as the one's I mentioned meeting.
