I've been hosting the Afternoon Show on Y105 for more than seven years! I have a beautiful wife, Claudia, and adorable daughter, Lydia. I've lived in Dubuque for over a decade and I absolutely love this city! I host Hawkeye games at Lot One on Saturdays in the fall, 'The Dating Game' at Skinny Maginny's one Tuesday a month and can be found pushing a stroller on walks along South Grandview from time-to-time. I'm a passionate Minnesota Vikings fan (and Twins, Wild and Wolves), but truly appreciate having a fun conversation with the adversary (Bears, Packers fans).

Trip to Michigan; The Drive/Ferry to Alpena
A week ago today, I set out on a 5-day trip to Northern Michigan with three friends (David, Lynn and Joe) and a dog (Indie who I kept incorrectly calling Sadie) in a 22-foot RV. Our first destination as we left Dubuque around 6:45 p.m. was Manitowoc, WI to board an overnight ferry and cross Lake Michigan...
My July Trip to Michigan; Part 1 of 4
Here's what makes the perfect trip: family, friends, relaxation, great food/drink and outstanding weather.
While my five-day trip did take me away from my daughter and wife much longer than I would've liked, it did provide the other four elements and added a private beach and relatively inexpensive getaway...
Check This Out
My wife, daughter and I were on a walk Saturday evening when we stumbled across this really unique and cool idea: a little free library (look at the picture and you'll notice I didn't get very creative labeling it) free-standing near someone's mailbox...
How Russ Ended Up in the Dumpster
Russ Bickle is the Traffic Manager at Townsquare Media; he's in charge of making sure all commercials get scheduled properly based on variables like what station, what days and between which times. It sounds like a detail-oriented job.
That's why I was surprised when one of our listeners contacted me and informed me that she'd been out at the station to pick up Rock Fest concert wristbands she won
This Month’s ‘Chop Talk’ with Ken Haugen
'Chop Talk' highlights a menu item at Houlihan's Dubuque. This month, it's SO CAL FISH TACOS! These are one of my two favorite items on the menu (stuffed chicken breast is the other) and feature chipotle mayo, panko-breaded tilapia, napa cabbage, honey cumin dressing, chips & house salsa.

THIS is Now My Favorite Pork Tenderloin Recipe
As I grill more and more this spring and summer thanks to my first year with a gas grill, I've come to one certain truth: tenderloins are the best meat you can throw on a grill.
Yes, they strongly resemble part of a male's anatomy, but they're TENDER cuts of meat that you can do so many different things with to make a succulent meal...
A Blast from the Past
I make it well-known that I'm a Minnesota sports fan: Vikings, Twins, Wild and Wolves. That's why I was more excited than most would be here in the Tri-States when my buddy, Scott, brought six posters out to the radio station yesterday.
While the Twins are nowhere near the World Series drought the Cubs are currently in, the Minnesota sports market as a whole has not had a championship of any kind
A Perfect Idea for Father’s Day
We're just days away from Father's Day! If your Dad is baseball fan, I have a suggestion for you!
Mystique Casino is bringing back the 'Team of Dreams' Sept. 18th & 19th and will feature baseball legends that your Dad probably enjoyed watching for many years! Th...
Don’t Get Fooled!
I've noticed several of my Facebook friends have posted a picture of the date displayed inside the DeLorean time machine in 'Back to the Future II' as June 10, 2015. That's NOT CORRECT!
In fact, there's a tumblr page you can view HERE that is dedicated to making every date look like the date to which Marty travels in the future...
What Happens When You Drink 20-Year Old Crystal Pepsi?
Below is a video of a guy who decided to try and drink pop that was discontinued in 1993. It ends horribly. There is some language that is not suitable for work (NSFW)!!!!! You've been warned. By the way, while thinking back to food items that were discontinued, I wish McDonald's would bring back the Southwest Chicken Wrap; it was ridiculously spicy and tasty...
