Michael James
Weekdays 6am-10am

Michael is a New England native, (Other than a random year he spent in Oregon, what was that all about?!?!) having grown up in Connecticut, but he calls New Hampshire home. Michael moved to the granite state right out of high school to attend Hesser College in Manchester.

Other than country music, Michael loves 90s alternative rock, he’s a closet metal head, and is a little bit obsessed with Kelly Clarkson. (random) His three favorite things are Sushi, Star Trek (nerd), and showtunes. Also coffee, all of the coffee.
