I was born in the southern U.S. and raised by a 21 year Marine Corps Vietnam Vet and his hard working, successful, Tennessee born bride. They set the bar pretty high for their three kids...so I decided to just walk under it and go into radio at age 16. After years of "town to town, up and down the dial", I made my way to Billings in 2005. That turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It lead to a great job, and the love of my life, my daughter, Eliana. I'm happy to be raising her in a place with a great mix of conservative family values and progressive ideas about inclusion and embracing the differences in people (provided they are not too liberal or from California).

Shed Your Winter Coat With Laser Hair Removal
I just felt the need to point out that laser hair removal isn't just for women. There are plenty of guys out there sporting a carpet on their back that they're not exactly proud of. The folks at Montana Medical Aesthetics invited me to have this procedure about a year ago so I could share my experience. I'm not a super hairy guy, but I did have enough to notice (especially when wet at the pool).
Post Your Taxidermy You’re Proud Of or Ashamed Of
If you've got a great looking trophy, feel free to share. Better yet, if you've got something in your house that you swear you'll burn the day after your husband dies, I'd love to see that even more.
What To Do With the Kids When School is Out
If you've got a full time job and a kid who's not old enough to be left at home to their own devices all day, summer can be a challenge.
Whose Fault Was This Laundry Snafu?
First, "Dry Clean Only" means wear it until it stinks, then hand it down to your cousin...we're not "Dry Clean" people. Second, complaining about the laundry is a great way to inherit the chore of doing your own laundry.
Avengers End Game Advanced Tickets
If you want to lock down some seats, you'd better get moving (at least for the I-Max at Shiloh 14).
Roller Derby Opener Saturday 4/27
The Magic City Rollers season opener vs. Butte's Copper City Queens happens this Saturday at the Shrine. Doors open at 6 and the match starts at 7.
If you've never checked out roller derby, here's a great chance to not only see it for the first time, but to support our local team!
Shows Worth More Than One Binge
Usually, once is enough for me. I really enjoyed Breaking Bad, but I'm not sure I'll ever give it another run. So far, the only show that's been worth a second group of binge watching sessions is Justified.
Best Pie in Billings
At Hog Wild, they still make these pies from scratch and they're worth every penny. The only negative is that they tend to run out of certain pies as the day goes on, but you do have the option to order a whole pie 24 hours ahead.
Time To Change The Marquee
For several years now I've been seeing the sign reminding me not to miss the Valentine's Day Buffet at the Four Seas. I was talking to my would-be sister-in-law, Stef, about the final days of the Four Seas and we can't remember exactly what year this buffet occurred.
Watch Out For Sex Crazed Ducks
It's Spring and these ducks are ready to get it on with their seemingly unwilling lady friends. Whenever they get into make-new-ducks mode, they seem to paint the rest of the world invisible, including traffic
