When I am not on-air, I enjoy working in my yard, a great steak, Vegas, Keno, and a cool Coca-Cola. I also love the Vikings, and I do enjoy getting back to Grenora to watch the Gophers or Mon-Dak Thunder play from time to time too. I genuinely love the Mon-Dak region, and the best part of my job is meeting all of our great listeners.
