Hi and thanks for checking me out on wymg.com! I've spent my entire life in the broadcasting business and have logged over 35 years behind a microphone. I feel fortunate to be able to something I truly love everyday when I come to work. I remember listening to Johnny Rabbitt and KXOK with my little transister radio on my pillow as a kid and thinking, "Thats what I want to do someday". Wow, a dream come true.

I love music of all kinds and love it when someone turns me on to something new (or old) I've never heard. Whether its playing music on the radio or playing a job with my band "The Hillbilly Circus" , music always seems to be a great communicator and a bridge to people and personalities of all kinds.

You can catch me on WYMG Noon to 2 weekdays and you might also see my on WICS Channel 20 as the weekend weather guy. When I'm not at work I spend as much time as I can with my two beautiful daughters Olivia and Kate. They are by far the greatest accomplishment of my life and both are wonderful young people.

 I also try to pick my guitar as often as possible and have made numerous friends playing in the honkytonks around central Illinois.

I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email at danny@wymg.com

Keep on Diggin life Babies!
