No matter which shift you find me on, no matter which CBS station…880 or FM, it’s always a pleasure to keep you up to date on the latest news, get you out of a traffic jam, or tell you what to expect in the way of weather.
All news radio is my heart and WCBS is home. No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve always wanted to come back. I’ve been here since 1991 with a couple of television stints in between.
Before I came to WCBS, I worked at what was then WNSR-FM and MIX 105 doing hourly news updates. My out-of-city training came at WGBB radio on Long Island and before that WHVW in Poughkeepsie, New York. But that’s history! As my college professor Jim Farley once said…this is the medium of the hear and now. Keep listening. We’ll keep you on top of everything you need to know.
