What’s the oldest working thing you have in your house?

My favorite part of this is that after we were done and played the next song, Ben said "I thought we were getting him a range finder?!" 🤣

Thanks for the kind words, Brad!
It was a joy having you in studio with us. Detroit’s so lucky to have you covering sports and sharing stories with your signature style, while writing a new story of your own… one that includes more time with your family!
You’re about to find out that life after TV is pretty cool! 😎

Means the world to launch this new chapter of my career by sharing the news on JoAnne Purtan’s show with Jason Raithel and Ben on WOMC Detroit.

JoAnne blends together her kind soul with relentless work ethic and professionalism, and I got to witness it up close for years together at Channel 7. She is thriving on 104.3, and it was awesome to be welcomed onto her show.

These two guys got a hole-in-one on the same hole about two hours apart! 🤯⛳️ 👏🏻🏌️‍♂️So happy for my son-in-law Isaac and great friend Rob!
Such a fun 10 hole short course at Forest Dunes Golf Club in Roscommon called the Bootlegger! Up to 12 people can play together, there’s music on the course, and you can go around as many times as you want. 58 and windy didn’t stop us from having a blast and making some great memories!

Feeling especially grateful today to be the mom of two amazing kids and one wonderful son-in-law. 💕

At the same time, I’m missing my mom and my sister Julie more than words can say.

Mother’s Day holds so many emotions for so many people. Thinking of everyone celebrating, remembering, grieving, or simply doing their best today.🌸

I’m truly humbled and honored to partner with Henry Ford Health on the relaunch of their Emmy Award-winning documentary series, Minds of Medicine.

The first episode, now streaming, shares the powerful story of Conner, a young man in a fight for his life against liver disease. When no one in his family was a match to be a living donor, hope seemed to be slipping away for this teenager… until a complete stranger stepped in and gave him a second chance.

I promise this story will stay with you! ❤️ I feel so blessed to have been able to help tell it.
