FACTS ABOUT JET I'm a huge movie and music buff. I like to play guitar and drums, and have just recorded a new album which you can find as "Kid & The Blackdog Project". To hear 4 songs from my new album "Kid & The Blackdog Project" CLICK HERE!! I'm a BIG KC Royals, KC Chiefs, and Mizzou fan. I've been on the radio for 10+ years, and despite the ups and downs, I still have a great passion for it, and know where I want to be in my career!
I've worked for just about every radio station in Mid-Missouri at one point in my career, and have met some great people along the way! Most recently, I co-hosted "The Morning Rush With Jet & Katy" on Q106.1, and now I'm co-host of "The Closers", a sports-talk show on KFRU... 1400AM.
I love meeting new people, because the more you learn about other people, the easier it makes it to figure yourself out. I'm open-minded, open-hearted, and open for business (whatever that means... sounded good in my head, not as good when I just typed it. Screw it. It's staying).
If you have a little time, feel free to look through my pics! My goal is to live and experience even HALF the life that my dad has. Also, check out some the latest articles and/or write-ups that have been linked below to see what I've been up to!

My Interests

My interests are broad. I'm about as open-minded of a person as you will find... so if you're NOT open-minded, then that would be, as they say, a clashing of personalities.

If you go to my #1 Top Friend on my Friends List, you will find a playlist of some of the cuts on my new solo album entitled "Kid & The Blackdog Project". Just click on the media player and it will allow you to scroll through the tracks!

Everything I write is VERY different, so if you don't like the first one, maybe you'll like the next!
