I am a Western New York native, born and raised in West Seneca and now living with my wife Maribeth, who is an R.N., on our 65-acre farm in Marilla. We do not have children but plenty of "kids" -- our cats, dog and horses. I have worked in Buffalo radio since 1975 and at Townsquare since 2001. Presently, I work just weekends and some fill-in on-air work. My main career is in law enforcement; I'm a mounted lieutenant, chaplain and instructor for the Erie County Sheriff's Office. And, yes, I am the guy famous for the signature radio sign-off, "God bless you, God bless America, never say never!"

Having Fun With…RATS? [VIDEO]

Happy New Year, Right From The Horse’s…Ah, HEAD!
Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to 2012. So did you do some of the usual New Year's Eve silliness? You know, the noisemakers and the silly hats? My horse "Cowboy" would have to say, "yes"!
End The Year With Forgiveness and Peace… [VIDEO]
What are the two hardest words to say? For me, and perhaps for you it's "I'm Sorry". I have always believed that sometimes you need to go back before you can move forward. As the new year fast approaches maybe we all need to reflect on 2011 before we work on those resolutions for 2012. For me, it's who did I hurt or upset with my words or actions...or inaction?

Dogs, cats and other household pets amaze me. How quickly they come to know words and phrases like, “good dog”, “NO”, and of course, “who did this?”. Pretty easy to guess who did this!

Christmas Shoes For My Christmas “Carol” [VIDEO]
This is personal, very personal. Today, December 17th marks the 6th anniversary of my Mom's death. I still miss her so very much. My Mother, who's name is Carol had been in ill health when God called her home that Saturday afternoon back in 2005. She had just turned 75 the month before.
This is the story of a pair of "Christmas Shoes" I bought my Mom...the day after she passed away.
