Hey Portland!

I grew up in a beach town in North Eastern Massachusetts and moved South of Boston to a coastal city for college. Now, North to Portland to keep with my oceanic theme! I’m a huge motorsports fan, fisherman, and gamer who LOVES music!

I spin vinyl like I’m fifty and make silly faces like I’m five, which I find balances out life quite nicely.

I spent 5 years working at Starbucks and am a huge coffee lover. I grew up around country radio and caught the bug in college. I haven’t been able to shake it…so here I am!

I’m so excited to be in Portland and take you through your afternoon!
