I am the Operations Manager for all six Townsquare Media-Rochester stations. I’ve been in Rochester radio since 1984. In that time I’ve been an on-air talent, Production Director, Music Director, Program Director and now Operations Manager. Radio is my passion. I enjoy working with on-air talent, designing and executing successful promotions with our sales staff and clients and making sure our stations are active in the community both on-the-air and on the streets. As a Rochester native, it’s been great not only to grow up in one of America’s best cities but to also raise my family here as well. I’m a proud dad of three terrific kids…Andy, Kelsey and Logan. My wife Laurie and I are also very involved in our community. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, bowling, grilling and following my favorite Minnesota sports teams (still waiting on that first Vikings’ Super Bowl trophy).
