As seen on TV, heard through your car radio, and bumped into at “the Jewels…”
(Caught primary-color handed buying “Superman” iced cream and waffles for dinner…true story. Thanks to the kind viewers for their grace of my cart.)

Our paths may have crossed through my role as a news reporter and traffic anchor for NBC 5 Chicago, or in my previous life as a radio anchor and morning personality.

Whether we’ve connected through WGN Radio 720AM, the Big John Howell Show on WLS-AM 890, or Robert Murphy’s Ride Home on 94.7 WLS-FM, I am grateful for your support!

So what exactly will you find here?

This site holds some of my favorite moments and stories. Humorous banter with my radio colleagues, long-form storytelling podcast episodes, upbeat live TV coverage from local events, and somber memorial services honoring our fallen first responders.

Aside from the experience and information you get here from me, I hope you also take away my true love for our city and the residents who have allowed me into their homes, vehicles, and lives for years. Thanks for allowing me to experience it all, while offering me a bird’s-eye view from the comfort of “big shoulders.”
