Born and raised in Northern Colorado and so far I love every bit of it. Graduated from Eaton High and still pursuing a degree from the University of Colorado Denver. If I’m not in the studio playing today’s best music you can find me at the roulette table in Black Hawk, checking out the live concerts in town, relaxing with a New Belgium 1554, or cheering on any Colorado sports team (especially hockey!). You’ll find me here in the Point studio on weekends and don’t forget to request your favorite tune. You can do that by shooting me an e-mail or calling 1-888-666-1999. Thank for listening to 99.9 The Point and enjoy the music!
