About Me



Married for 19 years to my college sweetheart. We're both in broadcast media...he's in TV News and I'm in radio and that's how we like it! I announce part time for CIL-FM and Z100-FM and as long as I get the call letters right when I open the mic I'm doing alright! I've lived in Maryland, London, Taiwan, several cities in Texas and now the boring and dull Midwest, specifically Southern IL. We've been truly blessed with 5 wonderful children....ranging in age from Kindergarten to high school!!! Summer is finally here and we're enjoying the warmer weather and we love spending time together as a family, whether at the movies or at home at the pool. Peace out.

Sweet 16

I find it odd that words spoken many years ago still resonate with a resounding 'thud' and more recent events go unremembered. Funny how our minds work that way. I'd like to think the following words ...
