Handsome and humble! Lover of coffee and country music! Big Formula One fan!
I just wrapped up a radio career that spanned 52 years and six provinces.
I'm a gadget freak. Love my laptop and my smart phone! You can always find me on Instagram. I've got two GREAT sons; one in radio, one in oil. Married twice, but no regrets; two lovely ladies. I love country music with a passion! An extremely proud Canadian. A self appointed ambassador for Cape Breton. My Dad was a professional musician. My Mom was a professional dancer. I've got two left feet and no rhythm. But I know how to play a radio!
