I grew up in Hockessin, DE, just outside of Wilmington, and as the son of a lifetime radio professional, I have been in radio stations and studios for as long as I can remember.

When I began working at WSTW-FM/WDEL-AM as a production assistant in high school, I had already begun playing music in bars and clubs around northern DE and southeastern PA and had also become interested in WXPN, where I could hear my favorite new bands and study the on-air work of its great hosts, especially David Dye.

Eventually I moved into programming and on-air work at WSTW’s HD-2 station after graduating college, and in 2014, moved to WXPN to host Sleepy Hollow when its longtime Sunday morning host, Keith Brand, retired.

With its long history on the air, I love that Sleepy Hollow has retained so many loyal listeners over the years, and I always strive to represent the wonderful music that has been a part of it for so long, while building a bridge to new artists and songs that fit the deep vibe of Sunday mornings.

In addition to my contributions to WXPN, I love pouring myself into my other radio, audio production and live event work, as well as traveling, spending time with my partner and pets, and seeking out new experiences.

Ultimately, I hope that each time I’m on the air, that’s what I am providing, a new and stimulating experience that brings listeners back each week to see what will happen next.
