Steve was born and raised in Jersey, which many people are surprised to hear is referred to as "The Garden State." He attended Monmouth University and after realizing that he had no desire to take Microeconomics, he figured he'd be a Radio major and work for the college radio station, WMCX. Some highlights include interviewing awful bands, saying the F-word on the air a few times and excelling at mediocre radio. This led to a job working for a number of years at 105.7 The Hawk, which is where his paths crossed with the Free Beer and Hot Wings show. Initially a board op, Steve eventually worked his way up to the position of Assistant Program Director of the station. He then worked for the NHL in New York City for a year. And now he's here. Steve is married to his wife Annette, who he met on stage while playing "The Dating Game" at a Live at Night show in 2014. He considers himself to be "literally the worst game show prize ever." Together, they are trying not to screw up the life of their daughter Evelyn too badly.

Watch the FBHW Show Race the Slowest Race in Racing History! [VIDEO]
A few weeks ago, the folks at Berlin Raceway asked us to come out and compete in a race in some of the 4 cylinder cars before the main race of the night. I was extremely excited about this and looked forward to it for the entire week. I was nervous as hell as we pulled out on to the track and followed the pace car for a lap...
Receiving Texts From the Wrong Number is Like an Early Christmas Gift [PIC]
I got up early yesterday morning to go for a run. I told Mere I’d text her after the run so we could meet up somewhere to grab some breakfast. She did get a text, but it was not from me. This is what she received.
This was pretty clearly a wrong number, unless she’s keeping me out of the loop on something...
Hot Wings Throws Out the First Pitch at the Whitecaps Game [VIDEO]
There are moments in history that are so significant, you’ll always remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when they took place. If you were not at the Whitecaps game last night, you missed one of these moments.
It has always been known that Hot Wings is simply terrible at throwing a baseball...
Some Highlights from the FBHW Live Show in Grand Rapids [VIDEO]
Back when I was still working at a radio station in New Jersey, we used to bug the guys every year to come out and do a live show. Five years ago, they wanted absolutely nothing to do with the idea of taking the show on the road. Nowadays, it seems like they’re on the road every week of the summer, hosting a show in front of an audience of a couple hundred people...
My Experience at Producer Joe’s Bachelor Party This Weekend [PIC]
Producer Joe’s bachelor party was this weekend. As we talked about on the air for the last few weeks, it was a weekend-long bachelor party. The festivities got underway sometime on Friday and continued straight through to Sunday.
Originally, my plan was to go down on Friday night because we had a station event on Saturday that was supposed to go a little late...
Producer Steve’s Favorite Hater Comments From Our Newest Station’s Facebook Page
Believe it or not, not everyone that hears the show loves it immediately! Shocking, right? Hell, we have people that listen on a daily basis and still hate us! Each time we add a new station, though, there’s a whole new legion of people that hate the show that come forward...
Reason #4,358 That Producer Steve Knows He’s Getting Old
Well, it happened once again. The cold, wrinkly grip of Father Time has grabbed me and reminded me of my place in this world.
This weekend, I ran the Fifth Third River Bank Run 25K. I’m not new to the running thing and have done a bunch of marathons and other races before...
Hot Wings Takes Aim at Ted Nugent in the Latest WHWT Animation [VIDEO]
As you know by now, Hot Wings writes a daily commentary called What Hot Wings Thinks. That Hot Wings is a highly opinionated fellow and we usually get a good laugh at what he comes up with. This time was no different.
Just after the movie the Hunger Games came out, Ted Nugent found it necessary to critique the bow-hunting skills of Katniss Everdeen (played by the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence) by
Producer Steve Wants To Know: What Ever Happened To Good Customer Service? [‘Ol Timey Voice]
I know that this is going to make me sound like I’m about 80 years old, but what the hell ever happened to good customer service? Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying and trying to simply get a tree cut down in my back yard, to no avail...
FBHW’s Producer Joe is Quite the Breakdancer [VIDEO]
Producer Joe revealed to us a few months back in a Show Video that he’s taking up a new hobby: breakdancing. Of course, we thought this was ridiculous, yet we’re looking forward to going to his end of the year recital right before his wedding next month...
Commercial Outtakes Are Funny, Especially When We’re the Focus [VIDEO]
We signed on a new radio station this morning, 103.1 The Vulcan in Birmingham, AL. When a new station joins the family, we usually have to record a bunch of promos and announcements that will air leading up to the launch. Sometimes, the stations also ask us for video content that they can stream on their websites or that will air on local TV stations that are media partners with the radio statio
Producer Steve’s Confessions of an Impulse Eater
Impulse eating. I know I’m not the only one that does this. I’d venture to guess that nearly everyone does. I think it goes hand-in-hand with emotional eating. Had a rough day at work? Eat! Had a good day at work? Celebrate by eating...
