I'm a proud Ragin Cajun! I graduated from the University of Louisiana, Lafayette in Broadcast Communications. I worked at KLFY TV 10 in Lafayette for 11 years, but found my true love in radio. One of my proudest achievements is that I worked for the world-famous WSM AM, home of the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville for 4 years.
