I have 2 sisters, 4 half brothers, one sister in law, and 4 brother in laws (one which is married to one of my sisters). My father and mother in-law live here in Oklahoma in the beautiful town of Terlton, and my mother lives in Galena, Illinois since my father's death in 1996.

I was home schooled most of my life, but did attend both Christian and public schools my last 2 years of high school. I had the ! honor of being part of Glenbard West High School's 1991 Speech Competition State Championship team.

In 1996 after obtaining my B.A. Degree in Broadcast Communications at Wheaton College (that's the same college as the missionaries in "The End of the Spear" attended) I headed off to Texas.

After completing my military service as a Marine Corps Sergeant in 1999, I pursued my love of radio full time. I ended up in Fayetteville, Arkansas working for several different radio stations. In February of 2001 I moved to Tulsa to work at another Christan station in town.

I have the opportunity to be part of 2 different television segments here in Tulsa including hosting the "Good Day Tulsa" community calendar segment on Channel 8 (KTUL) on Thursday mornings at 9:45, and also part of the weekend McGraw Home Selection Show Sunday mornings at 10 on Channel 2.

My wife's name is Jennifer and I have 5 children. Morgan, my oldest daughter, Wyman, my son, Moriah Jane (we call her Janey) another girl, and 2 more boys, Myles Elliot and Quentin Edward.

I love sports both in front of the TV and on the field be it baseball, soccer or football and spend several hours a week in the gym (it helps relieve stress believe me, you should try it!) I also love spending time with my extended family who amazingly moved to be near our family from Illinois.
