Obviously music is a HUGE part of my life. It's what makes me tick -- it's my lifeblood and my passion (well look what I do a living ...lol).
What else? I workout as often as I can. I follow sports quite a bit, including NASCAR. I like to read some, play some, do this-and-that some. Balance is the key to life, and something I have always had a hard time with ... lol.
I'd like to meet:
For years I worked in country music, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some of country music's biggest stars, including: Tim & Faith, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. Plus I've met: Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift and a bunch of others. And now I will get the chance to meet even more stars with my new station, Star 108. Gotta be honest -- while it's an honor to meet them all, they really are regular folks like you and me -- but they happen to have a really cool job !!!
Music:
I try to sing now and then out in public ... and occasionally attempt to play one of my many guitars laying around my house ... lol
Join me for "Karaoke/Open Mic Night" on Thursday from 9pm till 1am at the Whiskey River Saloon in Grandville, corner of Chicago Dr. and Wilson, right behind the Chicago Drive Pub.
I love local music -- homegrown tunes, created by and/or crafted by some of West Michigan's best. Props to Branded, Bronk Bros, Roy David Scott, Frankie Ballard, Curt Hines and his band Cold Cash Machine, DewSouth, Luke Galloway, Stolen Horses, Thunder Road and few others who are livin' the dream week in and week out.
I'm a country boy who loves his rock -- Keith Urban, the Warren Brothers and Dierks Bentley dominate my cd player, but so do Rush, matchbox 20 and 3 Doors Down. I really enjoy listening to new stuff, such as recent new discoveries Lady Antebellum, Jason Mraz and Trent Summar.
