Bio
Although I was born in Erie, PA I have called Rochester, NY home since October, 1997.
I joined 1180 WHAM & Sportsradio 1280 WHTK as Sports Director in September 2006 after serving six years as a morning personality on the "Brother Wease Show" from January 2000 until August 2006. The reason I moved to Rochester was to serve as Sports Director and Weekday Anchor at FOX Rochester. Where I worked from October '97 until March '03. I also served as the RNews Weekend Sports Anchor from ecember 2003 until June 2008.
During the 2003 NFL Season, I co-hosted the pre-game and post-game shows for the Buffalo Bills Football Radio Network. Tuesday nights, I hosted the Gregg Williams Show, a one-hour radio listener call-in show.
And in 2002, I was the recipient of the Gary Smith Award for Broadcasting Excellence. In 2007, I received the Sports Reporter of the Year Award from the American Legion.
My wife Debbie and I have been married since October 2002, and we welcomed our first daughter Gemma Rose on April 24, 2004.
My favorite sports are Football, Basketball and Baseball. My "sports hero" is Brett Favre. Without a doubt, Favre is one of the top five best quarterbacks ever to play in the NFL. I love his enthusiasm and passion for the game. And for the record I have never called in sick to work since I arrived in Rochester. My consecutive start streak is nine years and counting.
My coaching hero is Joe Paterno. I am little biased here since I went to Penn State. Can you name an individual that has meant more to a university than JOPA. My biggest thrill was serving as an analyst for 1986 football season on WPSU, the campus radio station. That season the Nittany Lions won the national championship. My broadcasting parnter Stu Kelly and I drove to all the road games, trips that included Alabama, West Virginia and Notre Dame. I served as the play-by-play man during the 1987 season.
Oh by way, U2 is the best rock band in the world.
Top Foods
My wife's, mother's and mother-in-law's spaghetti sauce. I am very diplomatic including all three. My mouth waters each time I think about it. Top pasta is ravioli. Second food is manwich, it goes with anything. TRUST ME!
Top Hobby
Playing basketball at Midtown Athletic club. I also enjoy doing landscaping work. |
