I began my career as a film critic nearly 20 years ago, inspired by my first viewing of Star Wars in 1977 at the old Sunset Dive in Lawrence, KS. I continue to wonder how Annie Hall beat Star Wars for best picture that year and demand a re-count!
I got into radio by giving reviews on WIBW radio in Topeka. Later came to here to Country Legends 106.9 as not only a film critic, but also Promotions Director and the Morning Show Producer.
Joining forces with Randy Guzman, we created the television show “The Aisle Seat”. The show was very successful and aired on KTWU. We not only discussed movies but also local entertainment and held celebrity interviews. Some of the biggest names I got to interview were: Tom Cruise, Billy Bob Thorton, Will Farrell, and Dakota Fanning.
I’m a proud member of the Kansas City Film Critic Circle, a certified Batman fanatic, die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, and a true blue KU Jayhawk supporter! In 2005 I started creating the “Slash & Bash Horror Film Festival” with movie screenings and special guest appearances.
I suffered a series of strokes in February 2010 and a lingering viral infection landed me in the hospital and several weeks in intensive care, almost costing me my life. After months of recovery at Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital I regained my ability to speak and write.
In March 2013, I came back to Country Legends and have started reviewing movies in the afternoons with Robb Rose.
