I always knew what I wanted to do since high school but never knew how I was going to get there exactly, but its safe to safe I been putting in some work and hard work pays off.Started off doing Sundays and now I do mid-days on Hot991 and even though I still am a work in progress I love what I do and love kicking it with the capitol district 6 days out the week. I can go on and on about what I want to do and where I see myself in the next 5 years but I rather show you than tell you. Stay tune my story will forever be unwritten.
