Mad Dawg

    Monday – Friday, 3pm – 7pm

    Hey, QDR Fam!  Thanks for taking the time to click on my page and for turning on QDR weekday afternoons. When you listen you’ll hear great country music and if we’re doing my jobs right, you’ll be smiling because you’ll we’ll have helped put you in a great mood.

    I love keeping you up to date on your favorite artists, what’s happening locally, sharing fun/feel-good stories, and giving away prizes.  Don’t miss the Nearly Impossible Trivia Replay weekday afternoons at 5:30. It’s the same question and answer that Mike and Janie give you in the morning at 6:25 – we’re just giving you a second opportunity to win!

    I love connecting with you so feel free to call me anytime between 3-7 at 919-860-9470.  Request a song, share your good news, or tell me a joke.  Whatever it is, I’m listening 🙂

    I’m mostly on Instagram these days and would love for you to follow me @maddawgonqdr 

     

    My story in a nutshell…

    The quick backstory on me is that I was born in Richmond, VA and graduated from VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) in 2000.  After moving to the West Coast for a couple of years I eventually moved back to be closer to home and was hired in 2002 to host the night show on QDR.  I’ve bounced around between here and Eastern, NC since then and eventually returned to QDR in 2018 to host afternoons.

    I live in Cary with my wife, Sarah, and two kids, Ben and Annabelle.  North Carolina is our home and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

    I enjoy spending time with my family.  We love getting out on nice weather days and taking advantage of the amazing parks in Cary.  We also frequent some of our favorite local restaurants like Serendipity and Abbey Road.
