Well, hot damn…The years have flown by and I have been here in Edmonton for 2 generations! Or is it 3, now??
I’ve gone from “Just getting IN” at 3am, to “Just getting UP to Pee” at 3am.
Well… I’m up, anyway… so I may as well keep coming in to the K-97 Studios to do the show.
Now at 40+ years in radio (with over 35 of it in Edmonton) I still have the chops to get you moving every morning with the music I’ve been playing on the radio since it was new! K-97 has been a part of the fabric of Edmonton for the better part of 40 years and YOU have been a huge part of it, too! Thanks for listening! Tell your friends to do the same! I look forward to talking to you on the show every morning!
In addition to my radio career, I am an avid golfer and a passionate supporter of local and live music. I champion various charitable organizations, including Kids for Cancer and the Rock and Roll Society of Edmonton. When I’m not on the air, you can often find me enjoying my vacation property in my home province of BC or enjoying a siesta at my Mexico home-away-from home.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let’s keep rocking together!

I grew up on the streets of Cambridge Ontario. At the age of 9, my parents left me in a Dodge Dynasty while we were on vacation and never came back. I spent that summer camping in the woods and playing games by myself living off discarded food left behind from tourists in campsites. While it sounds horrible I really had a great time. Eventually, I was picked up by child services and bounced between many foster homes. It was hell, and often I would run away. All I wanted in life was a cool car and to feel like I belonged somewhere.
I eventually met a good friend and we tried to start a number of failed businesses, I really thought after we found that pristine Shop-Vac wet/dry vacuum we would have made it big in the business world. In hindsight maybe our company slogan wasn’t the best “Give us a call and we’ll suck you clean and dry.” We got lots of calls but none for at home vacuuming.
Anyway, after that, I ended up becoming a janitor at a radio station and one day they needed a story so they put me on air and I told them everything about me. It blasted me into stardom and I met the love of my life from many years back and we got married and had kids.
So there you have it, that’s my bio. I hate doing these things and my boss made me write one but I doubt he will read it so if you’re actually still reading this I made this up and stole half the plot from Joe Dirt.
Goals: “To be successful enough to wear jogging pants to work and nobody can say a damn thing”
Accomplishments: “I once had a McDonald’s platinum card that staff get to save you 50% off. I didn’t even work there.”
Education: “I can’t spell, I lit a science room ceiling on fire, I nearly cut my finger off in shop class and I failed a college class three times in a row while in radio broadcasting. Somehow I still have to post-secondary diplomas“
