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!"

“Bosom Buddies” Walk For Roswell”
Breast Cancer...the two words scare the daylights out of every woman. They scare the heck out of us guys too. I know, as I have watched and helped my wife through it not once, but twice over the last 4 years.
Music To Calm A Dog’s Mood (Video)
Welcome to MONDAY! It got here pretty quick as usual. So what did I do this weekend? I did a little research on the computer to help our beloved pooch.
Sunday afternoon, as the sound of the distant rumble of thunder could be heard, I watched our 12 year old "Pearl" become increasingly anxious. Over the years we have watched her become more tense whenever the sounds of a storm make their

Just the other day my wife and I were discussing our favorite childhood toys. My wife quickly stated that it was her "Barbie" doll. Well one thing led to another and we got talking about "Ken". After a little Internet research we realized that this year marks "Ken's" 50th birthday!
A Look Back At Betty White’s Early Years [Video]
Just say her name and you can't help but smile. Betty White has brought us so many great memories (and laughs) over the years. In recent decades we loved her in everything from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "The Golden Girls" to "Saturday Night Live". Of course her career dates back so much further...

How Old is too Old to Ride a Skateboard? [VIDEO]
OK, so recently I tried riding a Segway. That was fun. Now, I WAS thinking about trying a skateboard...ah, notice I said WAS!
Even in slow motion it looks like it would hurt. But wait til the end where you see some of the same spills at regular speed! Also, notice how few are wearing any protective gear, including helmets! (Might want to point that out when you share with your kids)
