Bio

I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. Now I live in New Hampshire, but have lived all over the country. I attended college in Dayton, OH, grad school in Berkeley, CA, and have lived in Philadelphia, Boston, and points north in New England. I have two great kids, 15 and 12, and am a single dad.

My day job involves being a clinical psychologist (with Ph.D. and all) in a public elementary school and teaching graduate school. But radio is my passion and has been since my undergrad days. I now host a 2 hour music radio program on WVEW.org in Brattleboro, VT. I'm feeling it's time for a change.

In addition to diving back into radio recently, I am also learning electric bass guitar. I've been on a mission lately to make some long standing dreams come true.

What's your favorite public radio show?

Radio Lab, TAL, The Next Big Thing, Day to Day

What's your secret talent?

I was once told I have great presence. I'm still not sure what that means. I can see or understand what people are about quickly. I know where they are coming from as much or more from what they don't say as what they say. It helps in interviews. I listen.

Oh, yeah, I also have this great sense of direction. No, really. It's not just a guy thing. I have like a built-in compass. I can find my way anywhere without a map...well...except for Boston. Boston is impossible.

What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?

Heretics by Andrew Bird; Blutrausch (Smooth Interlude) by Big Sir.

What sound is most characteristic of where you live?

Wind through the trees, birds, owls, and a lone car traveling down a long country road.

What's your favorite sound memory?

My father cheering for me at baseball games.

Which station do you listen to most?
