More on what you do (at work): I am the newsroom's "Yes Man." They tell me to do something, I say, "Anything else?" I voice stories, conduct phone interviews for myself and anyone else who needs me to.

When needed, I host shows and anchor SportsCenter on Sports 620 KTAR.

Favorite news memory: Since I've been at KTAR, learning a lot more about what's going on in the world instead of being a "sports only" guy has been great for me. The whole illegal immigration issue is particularly interesting to me...
