Birthday: July 7th
Hometown: Leetonia, OH (which yes, makes me a Buckeye and a life-long member of the "Dawg Pound" Woof-Woof-Woof!!!)
Favorite Country Artists: Dierks Bentley, Darryl Worley, Danielle Peck, Jeffrey Steele, Deana Carter, Patsy Cline, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Big & Rich, Lila McCann
Favorite Country Songs: "We Danced Anyway" by Deana Carter, "Comin' to Your City" by Big & Rich, "How Forever Feels" by Kenny Chesney, and "With You" by Lila McCann
Interests and Hobbies: I LOVE TO SHOP! (If only I didn't have to pay back all these credit cards!). I also like to cook, bike ride, roller blade, knit (it's not just for grandma's), and read mystery novels.
Favorite Foods: I could go on forever... All seafood (especially crab legs!), green beans, couscous, burnt up hot dogs on the grill, shish-ka-bobs...and I LOVE ice cream!
And this is a northeast Ohio thing - but start with a salad, add grilled chicken or steak, then top with French fries and eat it with Ranch Dressing. Sounds weird, huh? Try it, you'll love it!
Least Favorite Food: Peanut Butter & Jelly....ewww!!
First Job: Ever - Dairy Queen... and I can still put the curl on top of a cone!
In Radio - mornings in Sparta, WI
Most Memorable Career Moment: Being down in Memphis at a Charity Radio Convention - that's definitely the best moment so far.
Family: All still in Ohio... I'm the youngest of 2 girls (I know... poor dad, huh?) And I'm the "Auntie" of 3 of the cutest little ones: Alexa, The Beetle Bug, and Peyton.
What do you like about your job? Jeez... playing "Today's Country & All Time Favorites" is a REALLY hard job, but somebody's gotta do it... I also love chatting with our listeners... so call me or email!
Most Embarrassing Moment at work: Haha... this could be an everyday thing! I've fallen off stools, choked on my drink, and cut through my headphone cord with a pair of scissors and couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear the music anymore! I just call these blonde moments.
Favorite Movies: The Breakfast Club, Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama, The Ring, The Amityville Horror (The Original), and Knocked Up
You'd never guess... I'm a huge football fan - Go Cleveland Browns! And before all you Packer fans start hatin'....I definitely root for the Green & Gold because we don't normally play each other...until the 2009 season this year, not that I'm counting down or anything. :-)
Favorite TV Shows: King of Queens, Ellen, Dr. Phil, Dancing with the Stars, & Idol!
Favorite Actor/Actress: Reese Witherspoon and Kevin James
