Yet another nerdy, inspired, baggy-jeans misfit from the lunatic fringe of Chicago. Professional student at the mercy of life, grades, and professors, attempting to sound my barbaric yawp from the rooftops of the world. Hopeless romantic, journalist, musician, writer, poet, rapper, sneaker head, independent clothing label supporter and general outspoken citizen, with a love affair for oversized headphones, sci-fi, vinyl platters, rhyme schemes, Halo, "indie" girls, tattoos, and (of course), high-quality radio.

And, if all else fails: NERD KING. 'Nuff said.

More About AMS - King of the Nerds

How long have you been with PGU?

Going on 4 years...makes me feel older than I should, thanks.

What's with the oversized headphones, huh?

It's indie cred amongst people who listen to hip-hop...jeez...

Is Dr. Mike D really a doctor?

OF COURSE. The man has saved my life more than a few times...so what he doesn't have a license...
