I was born in Apple Hill, Ontario (Glengarry County), and grew up with 6 brothers and 2 sisters.

Marriage brought me to Renfrew County in the 1960s.  First to Beachburg and then in 1985 to a dairy farm in the Barr Line area between Cobden and Douglas. We presently farm with our son Scott.

I have served as president of the Renfrew County Holstein Club and sat on numerous committees within the community. I volunteer for the Cancer Society and at a local retirement home.

I have always had a love for country music. Many of my relatives had musical talents, but that gene escaped me! But I did learn to step dance.

I started as a volunteer receptionist at Valley Heritage Radio, and I’d always dreamed of becoming a DJ, so when the opportunity came along, I took the plunge. It was a huge learning curve (I am still learning) but no regrets.

I am grateful to Valley Heritage Radio for allowing me this opportunity to fulfil a dream. It is a pleasure and privilege to share country music with our listeners.
