HIYA! I've been on the radio since I was 16 at a little station down the hill from my house in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. I've and worked in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota...even Idaho. Loved it all. Three things I really care about: a) Mental Health is as important as physical health. If you need help, please, click HERE for local mental health resources. Or just text 741-741 and tell them you're having a hard time. ii) Donate Life! I had a kidney transplant back in 2012 and know firsthand how precious is that gift of life/love. 3) You and the things going on in your life. Tell me about it here: james.rabe@townsquaremedia.com
