I hail from the south and love Southern Belles, BBQ, and College Football.  These are staples of the culture in which I was raised, as is the music I love.  Being brought up in cradle of the Blues and where many of the great rock bands come from, it’s no wonder that I love music so much.

 
    I cut my teeth on my Mom’s old 45’s from the 50’s and from there it grew into a passion.  I am a Dead Head, but I love so much rock & roll it’s hard to nail down one band as my favorite.  I love Jazz, particularly stuff on the Blue Note & Impulse Labels pre-1975, and I view Charles Mingus as the MAN.  However, I listen to everything and grew up listening too much of the music featured on 94-5 The Drive.

     I also love sports and have been a football coach on the High School, College, and Semi-Pro Levels.  I spent fall of 2007 on the staff at MSJ.  College sports are even bigger than the Pro’s in the South.  I attended the University of Alabama and love my Crimson Tide!!!

  I have been a Red Sox fan since the `75 Series; you know the Carlton Fisk homerun in the 6^th game.  Bingo, I became one of those sad wait till next year folks until 2004, when all the suddenly the world seemed like a better place.  2007 didn’t hurt either.

 
    I came to Vermont in October of 2006.  I feel that most Vermonter’s have their heads in the right place, and that is a big factor in why I like Vermont.  The people here are great and that makes all the difference when it comes to one’s environment.  Here’s to more great years in the Green Mountain State!!!
