I’ve just relocated to Minnesota after 16 years in San Diego. But I was born & raised in Minneapolis so I grew up enjoying the beautiful Minnesota summers and playing in the snow during the Winters. My brother graduated from SCSU and my Sister-in-Law grew up here. Oh and I’m a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan and I can’t wait to be able to go to games again. Before San Diego I lived in Las Vegas. I’d tell you all about it, but you know ‘What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas." Some things about me: I love horror movies! I’ve seen every Friday the 13th, Halloween & SAW movie…I’m twisted, I know. I love reading fiction from Dean Koontz, Nora Roberts, John Sanford & more. I spend my free time hanging with friends, drinking wine and traveling. Oh and sports…I’ll be a member of any bracket challenge or weekly pool that you’ll let me into! I can’t wait to get back to Canterbury Downs; it’s the Race Track that started my love for horse racing. I’m so thankful to be a part of the 98.1 Minnesota’s New Country family and appreciate the time you spend with us on 98.1.
