My contract is about to expire and they have elected not to renew it and I have been let go. I have made some amazing friends over the past 2+ decades, some I have and will always consider family. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to have so much fun with you on-the-air for all these years. I'm truly blessed to live in the greatest city and to be a voice for our community. Thank you Dan for taking a chance on me as your intern in 1997 when I got bit by the radio bug and fell in love. Thank you Scott & Erica for taking a chance on me to be your on-air producer with hardly any experience. Thanks Ang for being my BFF and always there for me! Adam, you're my boy Blue! I have so many other people to thank, but you know who you are. Thanks for being my radio family. To everyone that has listened over the years, I wouldn't have had this 25-year career without you. Many of you I've met in person and many I have not. But to every single one of you, thank you. What's next? Stay tuned..."". Instagram. Retrieved January 12, 2023.
