Born and bred off exit 120 in New Jersey -- so in answer to your question "what exit?" there you go -- I took my Jersey attitude and love for old-school MTV to broadcasting school in NYC and graduated from the now-bankrupt Center for the Media Arts.  Right out of high school and into broadcasting school, I had lots to learn so off I went to Boston for a Bachelor's Degree in Communications, with a specialization in Radio and Television, from Northeastern University. But most of my schooling came from outside the university, where I gained an education in music and management from work gigs at Axis nightclub (Lansdowne St.) and Mama Kin Music Hall -- Aerosmith's club, also located next to Fenway Park in Boston.

When I grew tired of Boston nightlife, I returned to NYC. After 14 years of city life -- half in Boston, half in Brooklyn -- I made my way across the country to the beautiful Vail Valley for a quieter life of snowboarding and the great outdoors. This is where I decided to actually use my degree and begin a broadcasting career; currently, I am the weekend morning DJ on KTUN the Eagle and co-host a Sunday night metal show on the non-profit station KLNX-LP.
