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.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Bad Breakup Turns Into Cash Windfall

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Bad Breakup Turns Into Cash Windfall

Sadly there was a winner for the huge jackpot for Powerball last night. Unless you are the actual winner, this is a bummer. Luckily Mega Millions is still close to a billion dollars with the jackpot soaring to $970,000,000 before Friday’s drawing. I figured with all the lottery hype around here lately this would be…Continue Reading

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are decaf coffee pots always orange?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are decaf coffee pots always orange?

If you’re a decaf coffee drinker you’re probably used to looking for that recognizable orange coffee pot whenever you’re at a restaurant, diner, coffee shop, or in line at Dunkin’. But why is it orange? It actually started back in 1923 as a marketing strategy by the coffee company, Sanka. They were the first ones…Continue Reading

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is Inauguration Day on January 20th?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is Inauguration Day on January 20th?

Today Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States. But why is Inauguration Day always on January 20th? It always hasn’t been that way. George Washington actually took the oath of office in the springtime on April 30, 1789. Back in the 19th century, the Constitution was written to make March 4th…Continue Reading
