RIGGS
You know that feeling you get when you wake up in a panic thinking that you overslept, then breathe a sigh of relief and joy when you realize it's an off day?
That's the kind of feeling I enjoy giving to people every morning.
I've spent the past 20 years evoking emotion - from the profound to the hilarious and emotional - I love interacting with people and providing an escape from every day life.
Where I am now
For the past 7 years, I've been holding down mornings in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 103.7 KissFM
with Alley Faith. Here we are pictured below.
Aren't we adorable? ikr.
Rather than rely on forced "reality show" type features and bits, we rely on compelling stories from our own lives that relate to our listeners. This type of content resonates so much more with our audience because what they hear is real and authentic.

Radio &
Public Speaking
Hosting a Morning show, a podcast, or emceeing a live event - I'm comfortable in front of an audience.
On Camera &
Digital Media
Luckily my radio face translates moderately okay on the moving screen. Check out some of my videos.
Outreach &
Mental Health
Advocacy
Having a voice in the community is a responsibility, and I enjoy giving back when possible.
AWARDS
Sometimes my art goes above and beyond. I've been recognized for my work locally and nationally.
