I am a brand spankin’ new Missoula resident fresh off the freeway from Spokane. I’m happy to be here and surrounded by the most experienced and talented group of broadcasters in Western Montana. You and I can spend some time together each weekday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. My 411… When I was in eighth-grade I started working at a radio station in a tiny Washington state town. Over the years my career’s journey has made me part of some popular radio stations in amazing cities all across the Northwest. What I’ve loved the most is working side-by-side with some of the same DJs I grew up listening to, and being inspired by. Our very own Craig Johnson of the Craig & Al Morning Show on 94.9 KYSS-FM is one of them, and I’m sure you can hear why. My wife and children will arrive in June after our boys are out of school. In the meantime, living in a hotel isn’t as bad as it may seem. Every day someone makes my bed, brings fresh towels, vacuums, and folds the tip of the toilet paper into a little triangle. C’mon! Who’s not down with that? You can shoot me an email anytime at scott@kyssfm.com. scott@kyssfm.com.
