I am the music director, brand manager and mid-day host of WOKQ. I was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and now reside in Dover, New Hampshire. I love the area. It’s beautiful and reminds me of my home in western Massachusetts. I was the Western Massachusetts Spelling Bee Champion in 7th grade (I peaked at 12). I also once split my pants open while riding my horse in a jumping competition (and I won “best in show.”)
