Music and Radio are two of my biggest passions and I am lucky to be able to combine both in my profession. I have been a professional on air personality for close to a quarter of a century and owe this to being introduced to music at a young age. As a boy I would search the late nite AM airwaves for signals from distant cities and can't believe that I am now one of the radio voices I heard. My hobbies are playing the guitar, poker, sports and gardening.

BC’s Laverne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner accepting reservations
For decades, the Butte Central Catholic School system has put on the annual Laverne Combo Thanksgiving Dinner and this is an event that they are particularly proud of, with good reason. Every year the students, faculty, staff and friends of the school fully prepare and serve an extravagant Thanksgiving feast for the elderly and homebound. They do it all. They purchase the food with donations. They prepare the turkey and all of the side dishes. They serve a huge contingent in the school's gymnasium and deliver just as many meals to those who are unable to leave their homes. This year's dinner is right around the corner. In fact, Butte Central is accepting reservations right now.
Do you remember the Butte Copper Kings baseball team?
With the World Series here, the country is preparing for the Yankees against the Dodgers in what, if nothing else, will be a lesson in extravagance as two of the world's richest teams compete in what is arguably sports' biggest stage. Something from which we are far removed since the Butte Copper Kings left town all those years ago.
Both teams can learn from Orediggers 97-0 football victory
Montana Tech is facing criticism for the wide margin of victory that looks like something you'd find on a video game. People are saying that the Orediggers ran up the score. While the final result would certainly indicate that, it is just not the case. Montana Tech Head Coach Kyle Samson pulled the first string after the first quarter with the game firmly in hand. Samson went as deep into his roster as any head coach has ever gone using the sixth string by the time the dust was settling. Kids who don't get a lot, if any, time on the playing field were getting big minutes. Even though the game was out of hand, these players are still fighting for position on the depth charts and you will not find a coach in America who will tell his players to give anything less than their all.
