• Date of birth: March 20, 1971

• Family: my Dad, Jack, my Mom, Jan, brothers Jason, Justin, Scot and Danny; son Jack, fiancée Kendal Strong.

• A typical Saturday night for me includes: hosting Razorback Recap on 92.1 the Ticket with Deek and then usually movie night at home.

• My favorite place in NWA: Hard to not say Bordino’s or Herman’s.

• My all time top 5 favorite movies: “LaLaLand,” “Michael Clayton,” “Swingers,” “Boogie Nights,” “Sideways” (Favorite doesn’t mean best, people.)

• Four people I’d invite to my fantasy dinner party: Cameron Smith of Cameron Smith & Associates in Rogers, he was my mentor who passed away in 2022, Anthony Bourdain, Robin Williams and (American film critic) Roger Ebert.

• People might be surprised to find out that I: was on a Colorado All-Star baseball team that toured Australia when I was in high school.

• The question people ask me the most: Do you remember (fill in the blank interactio­n with them from several years ago)? And I always remember!

• Hands down the most memorable game I’ve ever witnessed: 1994 National Championsh­ip game, Hogs beat Duke 74-71 and I was lucky enough to be there. I was 23.

• When I have an hour of free time, I spend it: wisely because it rarely happens.

• My greatest accomplish­ment is: my son, Jack. He’s an incredible person and his mom and I are fortunate beyond measure for him.

• The biggest life lesson I ever learned: never trust a sentence that relies to much on the word “should.”

• Three words to describe me: I hope I can’t be described with only three words! But, passionate, determined and open-minded.

• A moment of my career that I will always cherish: The last year or two when my son was able to be one of the videograph­ers on the court at Bud Walton Arena while I was actually working. I would do my nonsense on court and Jack would be the guy videoing me. What an honor to work with my son. It was the best, I’ll never forget those times he was on the field or court with me.
