Mom and Dad call me Christopher David... I started working in Country Music in 1989 with a whole of other "New" guys with names like Clint and Alan and Travis and Garth... My radio career had me moving from town to town including WXTA-Erie, WFRG-Utica, and WNUC-Buffalo and even spent a few years as Director of Programming at WNSA/Empire Sports. I am honored to FINALLY be a part of the legendary Country 106.5 WYRK! If you don't recognize my voice from the airwaves...perhaps you might from some honky-tonk, beer tent or concert hall in Western NY since I've been playing guitar and singing in bands for 30 years...currently fronting the band BloodMoney. When I'm not making music...I'm probably coaching little league, grilling something in the backyard or chasing one of my amazing four kids around. Of all the places I've been...HOME is my favorite!
