About Me

I grew up in a town of around 800 (no I didn't forget to add zero's to that) in North Idaho. Contrary to popular belief I didn't spend my childhood cow tipping, I was on the lakes, in the woods, and on the mountains. My first big move from home was a whopping 3 hour drive to Missoula, MT. After 4 years (plus a super senior semester), I graduated from the University of Montana with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. The purpose of having a degree to get a job didn't quite register so I moved on back home to mom and dad. I began working at a local news station in Spokane. Broke as joke and not exactly thrilled that I needed to call the rents when I was going to be home late, I worked some extra hours in radio so I could afford to move out. Now, I can barely afford to stay out because I am hooked into radio. I recently moved to Portland for my career. It's an amazing city that Im stoked to discover!
