I was born and raised in the most northern town in Maine, the french-speaking, hard-working mill town of Madawaska. A longtime musician and songwriter, I moved to Portland after high school in search of musical opportunities founding the band Dominic and The Lucid with fellow northern Maine transplants. Joining the WBLM team in 2003, I began my tenure as Night Flight DJ shortly after. My current musical endeavor is ShaShaSha, which can be heard at www.shashashamusic.com. I live in Portland with my wife, Kimble, and our always introspective pug, Professor Albert Sniffered Snerdsly.

I’m Smarter Than A Jeopardy Contestant [VIDEO]
I, like most people enjoy America's 2nd national pastime: watching Jeopardy in my boxer-shorts eating a TV Dinner.

Of course this makes me feel like an idiot, and I pride myself of having a brain full of useless knowledge. Well here's proof that sometimes even

Zoned, taking in 'A-Team', 'Knight Rider', and of course 'Miami Vice'. Today marks the anniversary of Frank Zappa making a guest appearance on Miami Vice as drug dealer Mario Fuente. An ironic character since Zappa kept clean, save for coffee and butts. Let's
