Want to know what my favorite color, food, TV show is?  Or do you want to know the really juicy stuff?  Well, this isn't the forum for that, but here are a few things you may (or may not) know about me.

I’m originally from the Pittsburgh area (black 'n' gold baby!), near Monroeville. The family later moved near Seven Springs Ski resort. No I don't ski, but I've tried it and I liked it. Softball and volleyball were my passion back then.  I went to college at West Liberty STATE College to become a dental hygienist.  Instead I have a B.S. in BS…I mean “communications”.  

I began working in radio before I graduated.  My resume includes radio stations in Ohio, PA and WV.  I've carried many titles at those stations: air personality, production director and copywriter, and program director.  A few awards from the West Virginia Broadcasters Association adorn my walls along with a few gold, silver and platinum records and lots of backstage photos. Yes, I've met a lot of rock stars. Some of the most memorable have been Rush, Bob Seger, and Metallica.

Outside the rooms with the padded walls, I love golfing, walking the trails at Oglebay-almost every evening in the summertime, lots of reading and going to movies, and trying any new recipe—although I’d rather dine out.  I make my own soap (weird huh) and I hate beer. I do a little gardening and have have won a few ribbons at the Ohio County Country fair-those are all from 2008).  

I could spend hours and hours fishing on Lake Pymatuning in PA, (and, I have), then cooking over an open fire while sippin' on a glass of Lambrusco or Riesling, a good Scotch with a splash of water and a lime wedge, or gin with diet seven-up and a lemon wedge-very refreshing!

Oh, and my favorite colors:  black, beige, pink and green.  My favorite foods: chicken, salmon, and raspberries.  And, the only tv show I watch with any regularity is South Park. 

I would rather "...go for a nice walk, smell that air, feel the temperature, hold onto the sense of the moment, take a drift on a trail, look deeply into the stream.  That means so much more than all the artifice in the world." -Dolly Parton (Nat'l Geo. Traveler Jul/Aug. 2009)
