I was born in the southern U.S. and raised by a 21 year Marine Corps Vietnam Vet and his hard working, successful, Tennessee born bride. They set the bar pretty high for their three kids...so I decided to just walk under it and go into radio at age 16. After years of "town to town, up and down the dial", I made my way to Billings in 2005. That turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It lead to a great job, and the love of my life, my daughter, Eliana. I'm happy to be raising her in a place with a great mix of conservative family values and progressive ideas about inclusion and embracing the differences in people (provided they are not too liberal or from California).

$100,000 To Give Up Your Phone For One Year
Vitamin Water announced a contest in which they will choose someone who is willing to give up their smart phone for one year in exchange for $100,000. I would LOVE to do this, however I'm betting that they're looking for someone a little younger - even if they don't state that in their official rules. I'm 43 and spent the first two decades of my life with no kind of portable phone, so it wouldn't be nearly as big of a lifestyle change as it would be for someone in their early 20's.
