Coast Afternoons, Monday – Friday 3pm-7pm

What gets me up every morning? My alarm clock, I hate mornings, thank Zeus they gave me afternoons. 

I’m a Maniac, raised right here in the Pine Street State with a passion for music & yappin’ since I was a youngin’. At age 14 I joined TATV & my pursuit for a career in media began. When I joined 91.3 WUNH as a freshman in college I saw the light: radio was the way to merge my two favorite passions- music and making it all about me. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Mass Communication from THE University of Maine in 2013 and have been mass communicating ever since. 

I live in Portland with my ferocious feline friend Stewie and my incredible wife Lexie to whom I just married! (probably should have put her first…) Our love of music has always been a bonding force between us. We saw dozens of shows together before ever dating. Our first kiss was at a Third Eye Blind show here in Portland. I asked her to marry me at Firefly Music Festival. And we’ve been to hundreds of shows together including traveling to music festivals in Michigan, Florida, Tennessee and Delaware (x5!) We already have our tickets to next year’s Coachella. 

And now I’m here! Working “a job” that lets me spin music and talk culture, a super practical dream come true. After 7 years in radio spanning on-air work on 4 different stations, I’m thrilled to be behind the mic on Coast Afternoons, bringing energy and entertainment to the end of your workday (or if you don’t work, to a random 4-hour slot void of any work-related structure, hey whatever, that’s cool, just keep listening).

I’m so excited to be a part of the Coast fam, give me a call and say hello!
