Mike Erickson

EMAIL MIKE!

Greatness only comes around once in a blue moon. Unfortunately for me, the moon is white.

Hi! I never know how to write bio's, so let's start from the beginning: I remember leaving the womb and entering the arms of a man I thought was my father. I would later learn that my father was far less successful, but a way better dad, dude and friend than the doctor who delivered me could ever be. OK, maybe we can fast forward a little while.

After working a series of labour jobs in my early twenties I decided to try broadcasting school and it was love at first microphone! It was one of those moments when the little light bulb over your head illuminates. Then I landed a gig in Chetwynd before heading here to beautiful (and sometimes kinda stinky) Prince George. Since moving to the north from the Lower Mainland, I've fallen in love with the nature, the lack of traffic and 18 Earls waitresses. None of whom have reciprocated my feelings.

To keep me from rambling any longer, let's simplify to point form:

-fav country artist(s): Montgomery Gentry. Partially due to their amazing
live performance.
-fav southern rock artist(s): Toss up between Seger and Springsteen.
-fav thing about PG: It's a ten minute drive to ANYTHING! Minus time to
change a tire after smoking a pot hole.
-least fav thing about PG: Jack Frost doesn't know when he's worn out his
welcome.
-fav flicks: Big Lebowski, all three Back to the Futures and anything by
Wes Anderson.
-fav TV shows: Seinfeld, Simpsons, Cheers, the Office, 30 Rock and,
lately, Heroes.
fav books: 1984, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and my
guilty pleasure... comic books!
-fav thing about the Wolf: Gotta be that Mike Erickson guy. ;)

Seriously though, it's YOU!!! This is an amazing community, with amazing people and it's an honor getting to hang out with you every week, from Saturday to Tuesday!

If you want to get a hold of me, fire an email to mike@97fm.ca. Look forward to hearing from you!
