DJs

Things you NEED to KNOW:

• I LIVE, BREATHE, & WORK MUSIC!
• I love to road-trip.
• I am a concert-snob.
• I speak fluent sarcasm!
• Words are everything.
• Silence is DEAFENING!
• Patience is a virtue that I DO NOT understand.
• I L*O*V*E* Summer, and H*A*T*E Winter!
• I love to be tan!
• I love flippies!

Those are the basics...here's more randomness...

I got into radio a little backwards...I was a music major at ISU, entered the "Wanna be a DJ contest on WBNQ" not to be confused with "Wanna be a VJ on MTV" and here I am today. I strongly believe that someone knew what I should be doing with my life, and I thank him every day. I am soo lucky to get to do what I love, I wish my happiness for everyone.

I also wish I could be more of an entrepenuer and invent something totally worthless, yet at the same time, make you think you CAN'T live without it.  Ahem *sham-wow, slap-chop, hair-bump, etc*

I also really LOVE ranch dressing and will drizzle, dip, and soak anything in it.

I'm trying to be more "wifey" and finally bought a crock-pot, so help me out and send me some of your favorite crock-pot recipes! I've got to prove to my boyfriend that i have more than one good meal in me :)

I have the COOLEST babies in the world, Jagger and Jinx and I LOVE animals, but I swear if I see that darn ASPCA commercial one more time (the one with Sarah Mclaughlin) I will freak out. I bawl my eyes out everytime...stop. please.

I talk on the radio.  Sometimes the things I say are funny, but mostly not.

I'm shockingly good at the "blankity blank" questions on Scene It.  Seriously.  I'm like Jordan in his prime.  You won't beat me.

I went to Illinois State University and graduated in 5 years.  It would've taken me 4, but it turns out that laying on your couch watching NYPD Blue reruns instead of going to class isn't a great idea.

I get no cell phone reception in my office.  As far as you know.

I think barbecue sauce and ranch dressing are the two greatest sauces known to man.  However when combined, not so good.

I'm hungry now.  And thirsty.  Not sure if that's related to thinking about the sauces, but I'm pretty sure it is.

I hate winter but I like living in Illinois so my hope is that when this rumored "Big One" earthquake breaks California off in to the ocean, we can just move Illinois to their old spot so I can be warm all year.

I believe that everything works exactly like my version of that thing works.  So if your dryer is different from mine and operates in an entirely different way, it will be more mind blowing to me than if an alien landed on my front lawn and delivered me a pizza made from peanut butter M&M's.

I think that Justin Bieber actually owns Twitter but no one knows it.

I consider Ryan Seacrest my nemesis.

I stopped actually paying attention to what I'm typing after the line about Scene It.

I was born very young.

I am married to The Lovely Mrs. Davis, and we share the sloppy wet kisses of three cocker spaniels: Bob, Chuck and Gordon.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be either a disc jockey or the vice-president of a paper clip company.  Turns out the whole paper clip thing takes effort, so…

Sometimes, I wish I could knit.

My office is littered with the dry, rusty bones of long emptied Diet Pepsi cans.

Carrots are one of the few vegetables that don’t suck.

I am a very Leo Leo.  I once had one of those astrological readings and almost all of my moons were in Leo.  I don’t know what any of that means.

I don’t understand the appeal of tattoos.  I also don’t have the pain tolerance to deal with the needle.

I bite my nails constantly.

I am one of three people in the entire world who really likes the NBA.

Some people see the glass as half-full, some as half-empty.  I see it as “Either way, I'm gonna have to wash that glass.”

My favorite color is orange.  I’m allergic to orange juice.

I went to a very small high school in Iowa, and I am by far the most famous graduate.  The second most famous: Ashton Kutcher.  (No, seriously.)

I don’t drink alcohol much, but I like to hang out in bars.

I once met Christina Aguilera.  She totally busted me checking out her boobs.  I was okay with that.

I think tighty-whiteys get a bad rap.

Being a rodeo clown would be a good way to see the country.

When I was 20, I was told my eyesight was getting so bad that I’d be legally blind by the time I was 30.  It didn’t happen, and then I got the Lasik surgery.  Suck it, blindness.

I was once run over by my own car.

My mother-in-law makes an awesome coconut cake.

When I die, I’d like to go on a walk with God so he can explain what’s up with my crazy-ass relatives.  Then we’d play basketball, but I’d lose.  God has hops.

I have the best job in the world.  I work with great people; I have an only slightly insane family; I have three pretty bad-ass dogs.  I am very fortunate.  I am grateful.

I've lived all over the Midwest, but Bloomington is the place to be right now! Other than radio, the center of my world is my wife & our cat.  I'm usually the guy who can tell you "who sings this?" or "what's that one movie?”  I like cheap food, cheap drinks, & cheap seats. I love getting friends together for games, TV & BBQ's! (Or all three!) My favorite TV shows are: Community, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Big Bang Theory, & America's Next Top Model (the Wife & I watch together, OK!) I'm a pop-culture junkie (although who isn't these days?!), Fantasy Football champ, & kind of a nerd. But mostly I'm the guy who wants to help you have an aweso. More »
