About

What is your favorite spot in Connecticut?

Downtown Milford or anywhere by the water.

How long have you worked for STAR 99.9? What was your first job here?

Since 2012. My first job was hosting the afternoon show, which I’m still doing today! 

What makes your station/show great?

The way we connect our listeners with the artists we play at the Star Acoustic Sessions allowing them to see and meet them up close is truly something special about our Star 99.9. I also really enjoy keeping people company in the afternoon when I’m on the air. There’s nothing better than being live on the radio playing fun music, telling great stories with “Tell Me Something Good” and trying to stump you with the “I Should Have Known That!” trivia question every day.

Favorite band or artist of all time?

Mumford and Sons and The Killers

What is the best concert you’ve ever seen?

Mumford & Sons at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. February 2013

TV show or Movie that you think someone should know about?

If you’ve never seen LOST, start there. I have many theories we can discuss. I’ve also been really into cheesy network shows lately. 911, The Resident, and Manifest are all wildly entertaining. For a movie, Whiplash is excellent and should be required viewing for all kids going into middle or high school.   

If you didn’t do radio, what would you do?

Professional Golfer

A skill you wish you had but sadly don’t?

Singing or any musical instrument. I’ve always thought it would be fun to be in a band. Instead I just talk about them on the radio!

If you are on death row and you have a final meal. What is it?

Large cheese pizza, duh.

Tell us one fun fact about yourself

I can juggle. Next time you see me at an event ask and I’ll prove it.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do we change the clocks at 2am?

This weekend we spring ahead for Daylight Saving. Finally! All the clocks turn ahead 1 hour Saturday into Sunday at 2am. But why is it always 2am? It would make sense to do it at midnight since that’s when the say changes right? Well the reason it happens later in the night at 2am is…Continue Reading

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do bees ever sting other bees?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do bees ever sting other bees?

Weird one, I know. But yes it’s true! Humans aren’t the only things bees go after. When bees are protecting their hives from outsiders, some of the “guard bees” will stay by the entrance and be on the lookout for other bees that try to come in. If there’s a rogue bee from another hive…Continue Reading

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Food Company Helps Mom And Her Autistic Son

We’ve all had a favorite food that a company gets rid of and it’s so frustrating. But sometimes going above and beyond for your customers is just the right thing to do. An organic food company called Nature’s Path recently discontinued a line of their frozen waffles.  This one mom in Canada panicked, because they’re…Continue Reading
