Born in April of 1960 in the Bronx, New York City... I have been blessed...

I got out of radio in 2001 and went full throttle doing Voiceovers... and never once looked back...

Well... in June 2008 my phone rings and its CBS Q105 asking me to come in and do a all request radio show called Q105 Sunday Night at the 60's... I spoke with Q105 Rico Blanco who I have known for years and has always remained a great friend to me.... I told Rico that I was done with radio and really had no desire to get back into it... We talked about the radio business and such... and by the end of the conversation Rico almost had me talked back in Radio... I told him to give me a day or two to think about it...

My good friend Scotty Phillips who I worked with at 95ynf was doing Q105 Sunday Night at the 60's and had to leave for personal reasons. I called Scotty and told him about the Q105 offer and that with his blessing I think Im going to do it just for the fun of it... Scotty gave me the nod and I called Rico and said ...its a go!!
I told Scotty anytime he wanted back... it was all his:)

Well... here I am.. now doing Sunday nights 7p - 12m working at the legendary Q105 and for the legend himself Mason Dixon. I did work for Mason Dixon once before at Mix96 and he was always a good guy to me.

Although I always had a passion for radio... One shift is enough for me... I look at it as fun... and gets me out of the house for a few hours...

My main gig is doing Voiceovers.. I have done Movie Trailers to Documentaries and a whole lot of automotive commercials all over the USA... I have done radio imaging to video games... and I love my job... there's nothing like it!

Latest Update: 8/18/2008 : I have left Q105 ... It was a fun... and I am welcomed back anytime... but in my life right now.. between doing voice overs and spending time with the family... and running a few different businesses.... my time is just so limited.... Life is good:)
