Hey! I’m the new guy and while I might be new to living and working in Binghamton, I visited a bunch of times during my college years (went to school down the road in Wilkes-Barre). My radio career started in Philadelphia doing stunts and weird voices (go Birds!). After Philly, I moved to Western New York, and now I’m excited to join the Binghamton community. I love cooking and watching cooking shows and consider myself “the crock-pot king.” My biggest hobby is Netflix. Yes, that is a hobby. I also love reading menus and trying new food. On the weekend you’ll find me walking around aimlessly, listening to stories from patrons at local bars, or shopping at Aldi and Wegmans. I have a love affair with both stores. Some of my favorite artists include Kenny Chesney, Maren Morris, Midland, and Josh Turner.
