Hi, thanks for clickin' on me. A true Midwesterner, I'm originally from North Iowa and have also lived in Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, and now Illinois (I should have bought stock in U-Haul). My wife Diane and I moved here in Spring of '02 and are hoping to make a permanent home in the Stateline. We have three wonderful children: twin boys Jack and Chip, and our baby girl Maisie.

My favorite movies are all pretty much goofy comedies like Airplane, Dumb & Dumber, and the Naked Gun series, plus Mel Brooks classics like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. I also love the John Hughes films of the '80s like Ferris Bueller's Day Off and my favorite movie of all time, Planes, Trains & Automobiles.  With three kids there's not a lot of time for TV, but I try never to miss The Simpsons (the greatest show ever created in my opinion) and we're big fans of CSI, CSI: Miami and CSI: New York (keep those spin-offs coming fellas . . . eventually we might even see CSI: Rockford).  

When I'm not on the air or helping out at one of our hugely popular live broadcasts, there's a good chance you'll find me at Rock Valley College, since I'm taking a few classes there. Which one is me? Well, just look for the crowd of cool, young students . . . I'll be the lame, old guy refusing to buy 'em beer.
