I’m your resident expert on sweaters, sports, and cheese. Oh, and I’m also the host of the Rush’s Mid-Day Grind. Prior to getting into the radio world, I though my future was as a mechanic, and I wasn’t happy about it, hence the radio thing. I got my start in radio working for TSN in Hamilton, Ontario in 2016 after graduating from the Radio Broadcasting course at Mohawk College (my second stint in college, but let’s ignore that).
From there I packed up and headed across the country to host the morning show in the tiny town of Chetwynd in northeast BC. But you could say the Northwest has always called to me, ever since pulling me to Terrace, an hour from the coast in Ts’msyen territory. I spent just over 4 years working there as a News Reporter and News Director for CFNR, as well as various other roles.
On my show, you’ll get lots of fun facts, trivia, and… bad advice. Listen along from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm as I help guide the Land of the Midnight Sun through the Mid-Day Grind.
