96.3 WDVD HOSTS
I recently moved back to Detroit after many years away. I lived in New Hampshire (Where? Yes, exactly) for almost nine years, working in Manchester, Concord and Boston. I got engaged, planned a wedding then called it off (YIKES!) just two months before d-day. I figured it would be a good idea to leave town and moved to Harrisburg, PA before deciding it was time to come home.
I grew up in Canton where my folks still live and I graduated from Plymouth Canton High School. I eventually attended Specs Howard for broadcasting and got my first job in... Wait for it... Jackson! That was many jobs ago, however.
I have two older, married sisters who live on the East Coast with five kids between them, which totally gets me off the hook with my folks, although I can't help but believe they're thinking "why did the one without the grand kids have to move back???"
I live on the east side with my two cats, Willie and George, who celebrated their 15th birthdays last September (I know... shut up).
I'm thrilled to be back in the area and especially happy to see how much has changed since I last lived here, especially in the city. I'm looking forward to doing a lot more exploring.
Give me a call if you're up late, or early, at (313) 298-9630 or drop me an email!

GETTING TO KNOW JEANMARIE:What is your favorite TV show? "The Office" or any Bravo reality show - I admit it.
If you were stuck on an island and could only have one thing it would be? Lip balm. I'm addicted.
What is your most embarrassing moment? Slipping and falling flat on my behind in front of a national rock band during a pre-concert sound check. Everyone stopped for a few seconds before I heard from the stage mic: "Um... you okay?"
What is your favorite quote? "A man being rich is like a girl being pretty. You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty but, my goodness, doesn't it help?" Marilyn Monroe, "How to Marry a Millionaire."
Name one bad habit you wish you could break? My hatred of house cleaning. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

If you weren’t in radio, you would probably be… Painfully bored.
Is the glass half-full or half empty? Depends on the day!

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? We would treat each other as we'd like to be treated.
"Star Wars" or "Star Trek"? "Wars". Duh.
What album do you listen to when you feel like doing nothing? You can never go wrong with Elvis Costello.
