If you're looking for a common thread of interests in my life, you won't find much. My day job is in broadcasting and always has been. I started as a radio DJ, did a little radio news, became a TV weather anchor, then a news anchor and now I'm back to weather. For fun, you might find me out on my small boat, sailing around the Gulf of Mexico. To stay fit, you'll find me riding my bicycle in 100-mile bike races. Oh, at one point I tried my hand at writing a book. See, nothing in common. Wait a minute – broadcasting, boats, bicycles and books – they all start with the letter "B."

I am a lover of World History! Within the chronicles of history much can be gained, so I spend a lot of time in that pursuit. I have performed as a professional actor, singer, and dancer since the age of five. I have done seven seasons, some with leading roles at Tuacahn Center for the Arts. And memories of my two seasons with the Utah Shakespearian Festival are unforgettable. I started playing the violin at the age of four. It has been and always will be my connection to the divine.

I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. Just after serving this great nation in Operation Desert Storm, I found that radio was an excellent outlet for my sarcasm and love of electronics (mostly sarcasm.) Most of my career has been in broadcast radio. I did, however, direct live television for a while. Radio and television have taken me all over the world including to where I now currently reside in beautiful southern Utah.

I have numerous theatre, film and television credits, and am the co-founder of "The Space Between Theatre Company".
