Growing up, Connor had two passions: Radio and airplanes. In high school, he solo'd in a Cessna 150 at Civil Air Patrol's Powered Flight Encampment. While in Navy ROTC at the University of Washington, Connor vision was tested at 20/30. This blocked him from qualifying as a Naval Aviator. Dreams of landing on an aircraft carrier done, he dove head first into radio. In a span of nearly 35 years, he has entertained radio audiences in Seattle, Spokane, Long Island, New York CIty & Cleveland. Connor has now proudly called Wenatchee home for the past 15 years!

Oh no. What are my travel options through the Cascades?
If you need to get across the Cascade Mountains, you’ll need to know of recent closures to some key highways. There is also a vital route that recently opened (after a brief closure from a nearby wildfire) and a Union strike that was thankfully averted, that I'll touch on below.

Indoor Air Quality Hacks during Wildfire Season
Here we go again. It's Wildfire season.
I just went outside to empty the garbage and it smells like a campfire.
The current air quality reading in Wenatchee is “120, UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS” Smelling wildfire smoke has become routine here in North Central Washington. I don’t want the unhealthy air...
