B104 MORNING SHOW Co-producer/News Anchor M-F 5:00-9:00am
BIO...
My wife and I have been living and working in the Lehigh Valley now for the past 8 years... We love it here and have decided this is where we wanted to raise our family... Our son, Rowan Michael is almost 2 now; running around and singing songs. It's hard to imagine that just over a year ago he stayed where you put him. I've been a member of the Morning Show on B104 for the past 7 years as Co-producer and B104 News Anchor... It's a great job... I love what I do at B104... In the 7 years that I've been here, I've won 12 Associated Press Awards for excellence in journalism... Most of which are for covering things right here in the Valley, like the Peeps Factory at Just Born and Becky's Drive-In, but I've also been recognized for local coverage of 9/11 and Allentown Police issues with the Mayor... When I'm not working you'll find me catching a movie at Becky's, eating at Moya in Jim Thorpe, or outside enjoying nature... Thanks for visit my page and I hope to run into you soon...
Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and tonight is expected to accept the Republican Vice Presidential Nomination at the Party’s National Convention, becoming the first ever woman to do so on a Republican Presidential Ticket. Since being picked by McCain as a running mate a lot of information, some controversial, has come out about Palin. Palin is a self-described "hockey mom" and mother of five. She hunts, goes ice fishing, eats mooseburgers, rides snowmobiles, has run a marathon, and owns a floatplane. Her family life, though has been a matchstick for the media. The family's fifth child, Trig, born earlier this year, has Down Symdrome and she allegedly returned to work just 3 days after giving birth. Her 17 year old daughter is pregant, out of wedlock, and there's an ethics scandal involving her sister's ex-husband. According to dismissed Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, he was dismissed from his job, when he refused to fire Mike Wooten, an Alaska State Trooper involved in a custody-battle with Palin's sister, Molly.
I don't know if you've seen this around or not, but Chris Daughtry is making the most of his success on American Idol. Sure he didn't win the competition, but you've heard many of the hits from his band's debut album on B104. Now he's teaming with the League of first time voters to encourage people to get out and cast a ballot this November. Daughtry has remade the Foreigner song "Feels Like the First Time" and it's been adopted by the group as their theme song. He even performed the song Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. If you haven't heard it, here's the song with the accompanying video.

Back from Vacation
Tuesday 08-26-2008 11:01am ET
Sometimes when you get back from a long vacation you need another vacation just to revcover. Well my family and I just got back from a long vacation in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. And despite it being our first really long car trip with a 2 year old, 11 hours, I'm glad to say it was one of the most enjoyable weeks I can remember. It wasn't overly relaxing, or full of sight seeing or anything like that, but to get to see my son experience things like the ocean and amusement rides really made the drive worth while. Here are some pics of our trip.
If you visit Coney Island this summer, as you walk down West 12th Street, Just off Surf Ave, in the shadow of the Cyclone and within ordering distance of Nathan’s Famous, you’ll find the “Waterboard Thrill Ride.” It looks at first like any other shuttered storefront near the boardwalk; in this case there’s SpongeBob SquarePants saying, “It don’t Gitmo better!” If you climb up a few cinderblock steps to the small window, you can look through the bars at a scene meant to invoke a GuantánamoBay interrogation. A lifesize figure in a dark sweatshirt, the hood drawn low over his face, leans over another figure in an orange jumpsuit, his face covered by a towel and his body strapped down on a tilted surface. Feed a dollar into a slot, the lights go on, and Black Hood pours water up Orange Jumpsuit’s nose and mouth while Orange Jumpsuit convulses against his restraints for 15 seconds. Reactions to this sideshow have been all over the map. Kevin Franke, a recent visitor, was appalled. “It’s not something to be made fun of,” he said. “It’s just something they’re trying to make a quick buck off, I guess.” Carolyn Rice, a visitor from Massachusetts, was intrigued. “I think it’s educational because everyone hears about waterboarding, but no one really knows what it is.” Many people stroll by the installation without even stopping to look. But what would you do?
