Ski
Monday – Friday 9am-1pm
Saturday – 6pm-12pm
Ski holds down the midday airwaves Monday through Saturday, 10am to 3pm — blonde, buff, and proudly bizwazzled (a word no scientist can define, yet somehow describes him perfectly). His rock journey kicked off with ZZ Top’s Eliminator— because nothing says “welcome to music” like fuzzy guitars and a car that looks faster than your GPA.
His first concert was Duran Duran in 1984, which explains why he still has a soft spot for synths, style, and men who owned more mousse than sense. But the band that officially dragged him into the world of rock? Def Leppard. Once “Photograph” hit his ears, it was over for him.
As for underrated bands, Ski insists it’s Van Halen, which is a fascinating take considering they’re basically on the Mount Rushmore of Rock — but hey, Ski said what he said. And his favorite rock anthem? Also Van Halen: “Humans Being.”If it’s got Eddie on guitar, Ski’s heart rate goes up.
If he could interview anyone, Ski is choosing James Hetfield, because the man has taken Metallica from garage rippers to symphony collaborators to global charity powerhouses. In Ski’s eyes, that’s what a real rock legend looks like.
When he’s on-air, Ski refuels with Publix popcorn chicken, the official snack of people who absolutely will burn their mouths and do it again. Off-air, you’ll find him building things, woodworking, chopping logs like an off-duty lumberjack, and hanging out with June Bug — who we can only assume is either a beloved pet, a small child, or a woodland creature he’s befriended.
His guilty pleasure? Duran Duran. Which tracks, considering they were also his first live show. (Once the “Hungry Like the Wolf” imprint hits your DNA, there’s no going back.)
If he weren’t on the radio, Ski knows exactly where he’d be: pier fishing. Every. Single. Day. Rain, shine, hurricane warning… who knows?
He’s not a big venue-hopper, but if he has to choose, he’s picking AJ’s on the Bayou for its Florida vibes, local music, and probably strong drinks.
And his personal motto? Simple, powerful, and something more people should try:
“It’s so much easier to just tell the truth.”
