My name is Dusty, and when introducing myself, I say that that’s my name, not my condition. (Yeah, nobody else laughs either.) I’m a native Texan; Terrell is my hometown, just like Jamie Foxx who’s way more famous. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin with a degree in Communications which essentially means I learned how to talk and not much else. My wife, Wynonne, and I have been married for a loooong time, and we have two daughters and a granddaughter in Tyler. We also have two cats who puke a lot, but isn’t that just what cats do? I’m somewhat of a geek: I love reading science fiction, watching Game Of Thrones, and solving New York Times crossword puzzles. Above all I’m a life-long Dallas Cowboys fan which means half our listeners automatically hate me. Dems da breaks.
