Biography For the past 25 years I have worked in the broadcast industry in Grande Prairie. I had developed an early interest in Radio and Television, including an acting roll in 1985 award winning television production "On the Edge". Media history includes television hosting, cameras and production and radio announcing. I love and appreciate many forms of art, but music brought me to radio and music has kept me in the industry for over 28 years.
