Why broadcasting: I listened so much as a kid, ball-games, hockey, countdown shows, I was always in charge of the radio. Prefer it to most other forms of media. Best part about the job is being on the radio, hands down.. It’s like recess in school.

Things I say a lot: Put a fan on it… Just reboot it… Jiggle the handle… Rub some dirt on it… We’ve driven in worse… The Vikings will win a Super Bowl…

When I am not watching or reporting the news, I enjoy: Political shows, maybe an action TV series, cars, ice fishing, open water fishing, watching sports, and hockey… Did I say hockey?

My favorite off-air obsession: I think factoids or the “did you know” type of thing. Example: Navy bean soup has been served at the U.S. Senate Cafeteria everyday for over 100 years but no one knows why… Also, there is a secret vault between Norway and the North Pole that holds every type of crop seed.
