Champion of the Airwaves and the Grizzly Nation Born and raised in the heart of Toledo’s south end, Grizzly embodies a spirit of boldness and individuality. Never one to shy away from “pushing the limits,” Griz embraces being “not normal” with pride, bringing his unique energy and passion to every broadcast.

A proud advocate against bullies and mean-spiritedness, Griz shares positivity and authenticity with his audience. While he treasures time spent with family and friends, Griz also understands the restorative power of solitude—whether it’s tuning in to 94.5 on the car’s jukebox or cruising through the streets with soul-soothing tunes.

A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan (“Fear the Dawg!”) and a devoted Detroit Tigers supporter, Griz’s love for sports runs deep, just like his connection with his listeners. After 30 incredible years on the radio, Griz remains grateful for the unwavering support of the Grizzly Nation, always remembering that he’s a listener at heart, who just happens to have the microphone in hand.
