I've been on the air in East Texas since 1999, and in radio for my whole adult life. I've been single, married, and single again, and weeding through the dating apps as a single mom of three girls is quite the adventure.

Using Uber on St. Patrick’s Day Could Save You $20,000

Grill a Pizza for Pi Day
