Growing up in New Orleans, I knew I wanted to be a DJ since I was a kid. I eventually got the opportunity to be on-air and haven't looked back since. Being in radio, I've had the opportunity to DJ at clubs across the gulf coast. I was raised on Star Wars, spent post-college years with South Park, and am a fan of Game of Thrones and living the cruise ship life (rarely).

Having watched the show on and off for most of the season, I'm about as average as you can get. But even I know when it's time for someone to go home.
