I'm your ex-patriot Canadian host of 'The Morning KIIK Start' weekdays from 6-10am. I've been living in the Quad-Cities for 18 years now. I'm a self-described 70's and 80's 'musicologist,' who lives and breaths the greatest hits we plays on KIIK. When I'm not 'musicologing' (it's a word now!) I enjoy working on my family's century-old Craftsman home, or watching the guys on This Old House work on someone else's. D-I-Y porn. I can also often be found making an ass of myself with It's A Mystery in live, interactive comedy whodunit shows. I'd love for you to wake up with me each morning on KIIK... That didn't read as creepy as it sounds.

It’s Election Day in Iowa
Lately we've seen heated debates over the flag and the anthem. What they stand for. How we should or shouldn't behave before them. At the end of the day, they are representations of the rights we have in this country. No right is more precious than the right to choose those who govern us, or to abdicate that right as a protest...

America’s Hallowe’en Carol: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
