I've got a long connection to the Mohawk Valley, having attended Utica schools and graduating from Utica College with a B.S. Degree in Public Relations. I've hosted a number of radio programs, and my voice has been heard on the local airwaves through the years. When I'm not broadcasting, I enjoy reading science publications and sci-fi novels, traveling to some favorite vacation spots, and anything "Star Trek". I am a native of the Utica area and have many friends and family members in the area.

With Vacations Winding Down, It’s Home Fix-Up Time
I'm not exactly a crack home improvement do-it-yourselfer, but I can do a few things around the house. I don't tackle plumbing or electrical, as Clint Eastwood said, "A man's got to know his limitations". With the "Frog Days Of Summer" vacations are winding down, you may be ready to think about home fix-up projects.
