You may want to take a look before hitting that vending machine or heading to the store.

A little bit about me:

I grew up in Exeter on one of the busiest blocks of Wyoming Avenue (the folks still live there), where we had SEVEN places to buy candy! As a kid I was obsessed with my maps, my Big Wheel and TV. I could barely contain myself when we went from FOUR to EIGHT channels with cable in second grade. At this point, I was memorizing the TV Guide and making up my own schedules! Thought I wanted to go into TV (programming or behind-the-scenes) in college, but was having WAY too much fun at King’s WRKC. “You could make a living doing THIS?”. Always a big music fan, it was a good fit.

Worked my way through the college station and WILK with someone named "Frankie", and then came here in April 1989 (a month before college graduation). I picked up a full-time airshift a short time later, became Magic’s Music Director in 1992 and was named Program Director in 1997. I’m proud to work with a great team and have the support/resources to make Magic 93 a top-rated (and hopefully your favorite) radio station. You can always share your thoughts/opinions with me; I’ll keep them confidential: stan.phillips@citcomm.com

Also, I :

--have been happily married to Beth since 2002---a former Magic 93 DJ introduced us!
--call my parents every day.
--am a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan. Maybe someday we’ll win the Super Bowl?
--have a serious sweet tooth and may need some sort of professional help!
--love to play with my four nephews and niece---anything from Hide and Seek to Guitar Hero!

Other things I really like:

Travel. Favorite vacations---Italy, Hawaii, Bermuda. I’ve seen MOST of the 50 states and my favorite US getaways---New England, Key West, Memphis, New Orleans, Chicago and New York City and Key West.

Golf. I’m at the point now where I won’t embarrass myself, so that’s sort of an accomplishment isn’t it?

Food. I’m a novice cook, a decent “griller” but also love to go out. As a guy, atmosphere isn’t so important, so I’d most certainly recommend a dive if the food is amazing! Favorite foods: sushi, ice cream, movie theatre popcorn (though often disappointing), Italian hoagies, seafood, pie, pizza, just about anything Thai and a great steak every so often.

Music. I have a vast CD and Record collection which I’ve been adding to for some twenty-five years thanks to record stores (disappearing), flea markets and estate sales. My absolute favorites: Al Green, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Lucinda Williams. I’m quite partial to soul, early rock n’ roll, jazz, alternative, alt-country and African pop, but really like anything that’s catchy with a good beat.

Movies.   I'm playing catch-up with DVD's.  Most recent recommendations:  Gran Torino (could this be Clint's final film?), There Will Be Blood (Daniel Day Lewis is just evil!) and Slumdog Millionaire (cinderella hit!)
