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.

Around 7:15am tomorrow morning revelers will gather around Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA  to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. You can watch live here. Every year people are confused over the shadow and what it means for…Continue Reading

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Couple braves blizzard to tie the knot

While you were probably snowed in watching movies and drinking hot chocolate one couple in Rhode Island were outside tying the knot. They had been planning on this day for their wedding for about a year now so they weren’t about to cancel it. They already had things engraved, marriage license made, and other things…Continue Reading

It is created by a process known as bombogenesis. Both really fun things to say… but not so fun to…Continue Reading
