Digital Media Manager

If someone offers you the chance to do what you've always wanted, you always say yes. So you can imagine my excitement to join KUNC as the Digital Media Manager.

Media is at a cross-roads right now and the rate of change and new technology is almost breathtaking. It's an exciting time to build a stronger community with your members and listeners. Radio has always been your friend, now we can be the bestest buddies thanks to social media and the web.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced"?) but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn’t imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.

I now call Denver home and I dig the easy access to the mountains as well as the live music, theater and pro & college hockey. When I am not enjoying any of the previous, I love to cook, work on improving my barbecue or constantly rediscover albums I forgot I had in an ever growing music collection.

The Sweetheart Balloon Rally was August 26-28, 2011 at Fairgrounds Park in Loveland, CO. The rally started in the 80s and was resurrected in 2007 to celebrate the sweetheart city. If you missed it, don't worry, the Photo Show snapped some pics of this colorful event that drew plenty of screams of delight from children and some  'oohs' & 'aahs' from some of the bigger kids.
