President of Dayton Public Radio, Volunteer Announcer

HOMETOWN

Dayton, Ohio. I went to Brown school, Colonel White and Fairview schools.

FAMILY

Wife and four children

ACTIVITIES / HOBBIES / INTERESTS

Snow skiing, photography, music, reading and learning, bicycle riding, getting together with friends, and playing computer games with my brother, son and occasional guest.

MY FAVORITE BOOKS

“TANYA” by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Laidi.  More than any influence besides my parents, wife, children, and brothers, it taught me how to live.

MY FAVORITE MOVIE

"Pinocchio".  Pinocchio had a large nose and exaggerated the truth. I have been known to relate to both of these.

MY FAVORITE COMPOSER / MUSIC

I have no favorite composer. That is because each composer contributes to the art of music in his or her unique way. Knowing and appreciating this enhances my enjoyment.

MY PASSION

Should I take into account my life before seventy or after seventy?

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT DAYTON

My friends, the bike paths, the Schuster Center, and the arts.
