Friend
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago,
I visited Tampa Bay in 1975, and made it my home!
I was fresh out of High School and it wasn't
long before I landed a gig as a Mobile DJ. It was love at first
sight. I loved spinning the tunes and getting folks up to dance.
So this is where it all began, "Serving Up Fun"!

Most Asked Question: How is life since
my car crash?
On Saturday, July 2nd, 1994 I survived a car accident on Bayshore
Blvd. My vehicle hydroplaned and I suffered multiple broken bones
that put me in a wheelchair for months. Worst of all, I suffered
a brain injury. The part of my brain affected was SPEECH. Not exactly
what an on-air talent wants to hear. With firm determination and
Spirit's love, I'm here today to say, Life is a Gas! Each day is
a gift. I don't sweat the small stuff.
Here's my chance to Thank you Tampa Bay for
all the love and support I received at that time. It was Amazing.
This July 2nd, 2004 marks my 10 year anniversary as a "Survivor".
My Favorite Band:
Hands Down.............. THE ALLMAN BROTHERS
Favorite book read to date:
"Conversation With God" by Neale Donald Walsch -- It changed my life!
My Current Favorite Quote:
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment
that something else is more important than fear. The brave may
not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now
on you'll be traveling the road between who you think you are and
who you can be. The key is to allow yourself to make the journey."
