I grew up in East Aurora, N.Y., and am the youngest of five kids. After attending East Aurora High School, I went on to graduate from Canisius College. It’s amazing how fast time has gone and hard to believe that I have been a part of WYRK’s staff for over 20 years. My wife Elizabeth, our beautiful boys Harrison (Hank) and Theodore (Teddy) and Ferguson (Gus) our two dogs, Pepper and Lucy, and I all squeeze in to a house in the Town of Hamburg. When I’m not on the air or writing for our website, I love being outside. Hunting, fishing, working around the house -- if it’s outdoors, count me in! I am a big fan of traditional country and George Strait music. I have a goal (dream?) of having a small ranch someday and maybe even raise a few cows. I look forward to helping people in any way I can and being a part of Western New York’s mornings every week!

How hot is too hot for you? Does it have to be in the 80s or 90s? What about that heat index that we keep hearing about? The heat and humidity can be oppressive and make it tough to breath even for those who are considered healthy. But what is the temperature that makes it actually unhealthy to be outside? Turns out, it is well over 100 degrees.

There is a burn ban in place in New York State for the next few weeks. As the humidity gets lower and the strong spring winds blow, there is an elevated threat of fires in New York State and that forces officials to be more vigilant and expand the warnings.
