I've worked at WPDH since 1999 coming over from sister station WRRV where I was known as "Jack the Ripper". My passion is Pittsburgh Penguin hockey and the band "RUSH". My first concert was here in the Hudson Valley in 1986 with Heart at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Middletown. I also host the Sunday night show "WPDH Soundcheck" every weekend at 10pm where we visit performances from around the world with your favorite classic rock artists.
