What’s up WNY! I was born in Niagara Falls, lived in downtown Buffalo all of my 20’s and have spent the last many years in Amherst. Started working in radio at a certain Top 40 station in town when I 15 as an intern, ended up running the station until I was ‘asked to leave’ in 2005 J Ended up running 101.1 from my house while raising my then 1 year old son until 2012, have been hanging out here ever since. Hope you like Mix 96! If not I am the guy to yell at! Send me an email HERE if you have anything to say about Mix, good or bad! And ladies, please don’t fight, but I am currently single depending on the night of the week so feel free to email me your ‘please date me Dave’ pitch as well :)
