Hey! I’m Rich and you don’t get any more local than me. I was born and raised right here in Binghamton. My best friend is my pup named Maggie and we terrorize dog parks and the rail trail as much as possible. I started working at 98.1 The Hawk in 2001. You might spot me out at a charity event because I try to visit as many as I can. My TV watching is minimal, but if I have a chance to relax, its Leverage and Lost girl on NETFLIX and Ghost Adventures or Expedition Unknown on my stream TV. I’m a big tech geek and I love to figure out new ways of doing things that involve technology. I’m available to chat whenever and answer all my social media myself. If you see me out someplace, stop and say hello!
