ROCK NEWS:

Jack White fuming over Guinness World Records snub


KEYWORD

Todd Dionne





This Guy:
I’ve lived in Asheville since 2008 and I originally HAIL from Michigan where I worked in the automotive industry as a Quality & Industrial Engineer.  I’ve always wanted to work in radio as long as I can remember.  I started off working at the local roller rink in Utica, Michigan when I was 16.  “This next song is for couples and backward skaters only…”

I served in the U.S. Army for 8 years where I single handedly stomped communism out of Europe.  Lived in Germany for 4 years where I made nice with the ladies and the local brews…   Visited 27 different countries… some voluntarily.

I’ve had a permanent stunt-double since birth; my (handsome) twin brother has gotten me into trouble more times than out of trouble despite being a cop in Detroit.  Did I mention he was handsome?

Starting off in a roller rink and actually getting a shot in radio makes me think this is what Mark Wahlberg in Rock Star or Tim “Ripper” Owens joining Judas Priest must have felt. 

My Favorite Things:
Playing Poker, Texas Hold’em, 3 Card Poker, & Black Jack.  My next wife will most likely be a Victoria Secret super model, let’s start with Miranda Kerr and I’ll work my way down.  Right now I’m really digging Shinedown, Nickleback, Metallica, & Live and almost anything live & local in Asheville, especially the street performers.  Drinking good local and unique beer.

Least Favorite Things:
Drama…  Keep your hormones and emotions in check, they make medication for that… get some.  Slow drivers.  Get your ass out of the left lane; they call it a “fast lane” for a reason now move over already.  National restaurants that all have the same generic food on the inside with a different name on the outside.  Go somewhere unique.  That’s why I love Asheville, so many unique restaurants.  Fake people and people that act like other people than themselves...  Be unique, be yourself.
