As a Northern California native, raised on some of the greatest Rock radio stations in the country, I can’t think of a more perfect opportunity to return to my roots in radio and Nor-Cal! I also want to thank Stacey Kauffman, Aaron Roberts, Vince Richards and Dave Richards for their confidence and support. I’m joining a tremendous team and am ready to rock Sacramento!”
