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.
