For many years I had a secret dream to host a radio talk show, and this idea stayed with me but remained unfulfilled. I’ve had the opportunity to co-host a local access cable TV show, and that experience fueled my desire to find a way get on the radio.

Through the magic of modern technology, actually internet radio, my dream has finally come to fruition with Jersey Coastal Live! The show is based in Monmouth County, NJ and this region is the epicenter of what I find interesting. What interests me (and I hope my listeners) is the music, food, entertainment, and pop culture of the Jersey Shore. Of course the Jersey Shore extends far beyond Monmouth County; so expect to meet people from Sandy Hook down to Cape May.

Since I’ve lived at the Jersey Shore for over twenty years, it was easy for me to decide what I wanted to talk about on my show. I’m constantly seeking out passionate people with engaging stories to tell about who they are, what they’ve become, or how they make a living – the common thread is that they all relate back to the Jersey Shore. My goal is to find these people and provide an opportunity to share their stories with others. I'm choosing people who interest me and hope my listeners will also be curious and intrigued by what my guests have to share about themselves.

There are so many people I want to talk to, and Jersey Coastal Live! is actually my way of showcasing the variety of activities and diverse people of the Jersey Shore. Enjoy!
