Thank you KRMD for a GREAT ride!

The time has come.  Time to say goodbye.  Today is my last day at KRMD… My radio career is calling me in Florida.  I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the past two and a half years of fun here at KRMD.

With your help, we did some pretty awesome things… great community projects like St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Toys For Tots, Haiti… Mardi Gras!!   Had some great listener appreciation concerts…  with Little Big Town last week, was one of our biggest ever…  To the rising of the legendary KRMD once again.  You helped us become the number one rated country station for two years in a row.  Thank you!

Of course I could not have done some of those great things without the help of the wonderful staff here at KRMD… from the GM’s office to the morning show, to the street team members.  Thank you!

It’s been an honor to be a part of such a legendary station as KRMD.   My family and I truly loved Shreveport, Bossier and the arklatex and it is difficult to leave so many great friends behind.   I hope I will run into you again down the road.

Thank you for the friendship, I will never forget you.  Goodbye.  On the road again…

On The Road Again...

That Willie Nelson tune is my theme song... so it seems.  My office is packed and empty.  Goodbyes have been said around the office; we even had cake!  I got to eat it too!  Waiting until this afternoon to say goodbye to listeners.

The next page is ready to be written.  The road awaits.  Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway...

Onward and Upward...

When I got to Shreveport two and half years ago, my world changed.  A new beginning, new friends... and a wild party ensued.  Late nights, tequila and guitars on the back porch, and off-key karaoke.

After, the years and the beers, and all my tall radio stories told... I reached the summit.  I shouted at the top saying, 'we did it!' When it hasn't been said in a long while.  My friends and co-workers stood at the summit with me.  I am extremely proud.  Apparently, somebody heard all the shouting!

The time has come for me to make a well planned move in my career.  In the coming weeks, I'll be the Program Director for WCKT in Ft. Myers/Cape Coral/Naples, Florida.

I will be forever grateful for the friends I made in a town that I love and will never forget.

I feel like if I last long enough in this biz, I figure I'll run the whole damn thing.  :)  Onward and upward!
