I grew a love for music and entertainment starting like many others, at church, in my homestate of Texas. My dream of working in radio developed around the age of 8 after joining a friend’s dad at work, who was an on-air personality at the local radio station. I moved to Tampa, FL years ago and joined the street team for WILD 98.7, out in the community every day, meeting people and developing lasting relationships. I never gave up on the dream of being an on-air personality and eventually worked my way to be the cohost for The Nuthouse, on (now) WILD 94.1. My occupation has afforded me the ability to visit many places and has blessed me with the opportunity to meet a lot of different people. I love to learn through these conversations and asking questions any chance I get. I have been watching the music scene in Tampa for a long time now. It has come time to showcase the talent here. We want to introduce the people of Tampa to the artists they may not be aware of in their own city and invite others from around the globe to come see it too. One of my passions is to bring people from all different walks of life together, in an atmosphere of love and respect, with the expectation of creating even greater music collaborations. Join me in this adventure we are about to embark upon, bringing out the best in all of us and let’s make history while we are at it.
