I grew up on the Fox River in Elgin, Illinois, just outside Chicago. I joined the Air Force as a combat reporter in 1997. After 11 years, I decided I wanted a job that didn't involve long vacations in exotic locales like Bosnia and Afghanistan, so I came to Rapid City.

I'll bring you some of the best rock ever made from 10am to 3pm every weekday, along with the The Noon Fiesta request hour, sports and rock news headlines, and whatever else my fairly twisted mind comes up with. (And trust me, there's a lot of cobwebs in that attic, so to speak.)
