I am a Western New York native, born and raised in West Seneca and now living with my wife Maribeth, who is an R.N., on our 65-acre farm in Marilla. We do not have children but plenty of "kids" -- our cats, dog and horses. I have worked in Buffalo radio since 1975 and at Townsquare since 2001.

And, yes, I am the guy famous for the signature radio sign-off, "God bless you, God bless America, never say never!"

Regrets? I’ve Had A Few…
I have often said about life, it's not always about what we've done...but what we have failed to do. The regrets over things we should have done, but didn't.
