I’ll be returning to radio in Phoenix for the 23rd year of my career, and even though I retired with the number one afternoon show, I have some unfinished business. I’m excited to join my new team and anxious to talk to and with people across the Valley, where my listeners have become friends and family! Thank you, John Candelaria for welcoming me with open arms and most importantly, seeing and believing in the vision of taking local radio to the next level.”
