If you spend 30 seconds on the internet you’ll probably come across a “social media influencer”. You know, someone who’s job it is to influence you into buying or trying something or clicking a link to try or buy something. There’s nothing wrong with it, but you do need to be careful. You still need to trust that person and hope they’re being honest with you about what they’re trying to “influence” you about. You may not realize this but us radio people have been “influencers” long before the internet was around and we still are, telling you about businesses and what services they offer you. There is one big difference, we’re here with you day in and day out and not some random “internet” person. As always, thanks for listening!

Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!
