While JD may not have been born in the Carolinas, they have always been on my mind!!!

He is originally from Idaho, but my wife (Nicole) and our sons have moved back and forth across the country multiple times but are very happy to call Charlotte home base now.

As you will find out JD is a Disney Dad to the core and my love for Pop Culture & Bravo seems to be the only thing in cue on TV.

JD is a die-hard Panthers' fan, and supporter of Charlotte FC, but what he's the most excited about is waking up with you and The Morning Mix with Matt Harris & Friends.

Follow JD on instagram @jdontheradio and if you see him out in the Queen City and surrounding areas, please don't be shy say hello he's always good for dishing about the latest Housewives or Vanderpump Rules drama.
