Originally from the South West, I started my presenting career in Community Charity radio. I then gave my sales job up and spent a year at my local radio station answering phones and making everyone coffee... a year later I got my own show. That was 1992. Since then I have worked at stations in Bristol, Worcestershire (same one as Beck!), Yorkshire, Northamptonshire (same one as Finnon!), Lancashire, Devon and all over the North East.
