God, family, country, and blue collar roots—in that order … that pretty much describes me. I'm a Mainer through and through. After dusting off the snow, I stumbled out of Presque Isle, Maine, back in the late 70’s to attend UMaine, and have never left the Bangor area since. From farm work, logging, aviation, education, and broadcasting, you might say I've lived an adventurous life. I love my wife (the bumper sticker on my truck says so), children, grandkids, church family, my crazy dogs, my ‘ol ‘97 GMC truck, motorcycle, country music, and a cold one once in a while to take the edge off. Be sure to listen in weekday afternoons on Maine’s Fun Country Station…Q-106.5.

Mystery of the McRib Meat Revealed! [VIDEO]
I can honestly say that I have never had a 'McRib Sandwich' from the fast food giant known as McDonald's. Ever since it was introduced to the McD's menu back in 1981, there was always a little controversy about the origin of the meat that makes up the McRib, so I really had no desire to try it...
SNL Spoofs Taylor Swift with ‘Swiftamine’ [VIDEO]
