Tad Svendsen

I’ve been hooked on radio since I got my first portable set when I was nine years old.  I started playing country music on the radio when I was 16, and have been heard on some of the best stations in the nation.  I’m a certified gadget fan, but I find I spend too much time charging batteries for my toys.  I enjoy looking after the family farms, but don't enjoy paying the bills.  I also enjoy reading and learning, but discovered there's a lot more to learn.  I’m single, clean my own house, do my own laundry, and live with my roommate of 17 years, my dog Grady.
