Town to town. Up and down the dial. Until I stopped at 95.1 FM…. My radio career began in 1991 at 530 AM WOWL, the college radio station of Southern Connecticut State University. While there I interned at 99.1 FM WPLR until eventually landing my first professional on-air gig in 1996 doing weekends at 106.9 FM WCCC in Hartford using the on-air name of "Fletch"! In 1998 I did weekends for 93.7 FM in Hartford under three different formats (Classic Hits 93.7, 93-7 The Point and Dancin’ Oldies 93.7). During that time I also did some fill-in sports and news updates for 1320 AM in Waterbury. I wound up getting the full-time weeknight gig right here at 95.1 FM from 2000-2006 before coming back to i95 in 2009 where I've been doing Saturday mid-days ever since. Along with the articles you can read here on i95's website I also write for the Van Halen News Desk at VHND.com.

New Allman Bros. Release Takes Us Back To A Summer Night In Hartford 2003
The memories came flooding back the instant I hit the play button. It's a hot August night under the stars at The Meadows and the smell of incense, patchouli, beer and a certain spirit-enhancing smoke floats freely through a cool summer breeze. The thumping bass line of "Whipping Post" kicks in, I close my eyes and completely give myself up to the moment. My mind is floating.
Man, those
An 80s Summer Slasher Film Starring….Bruce Springsteen’s Sister?!
Ladies and gentleman brace yourselves for what you're about to read.
Bruce Springsteen's sister was originally a boy who went on to become a serial killer.
O.K. so that's not totally true. Pamela Springsteen was born a girl and she hasn't killed several teenagers at summer camp in real life but she most definitely has pretended to in a pair of classic 80s campy summer slasher films.
