MATT HARRIS
Ramona told me to update my bio, so here goes. Hmmmm....let's see I have a wife, Amy, and a daughter, Addison. I was born in Doylestown, Pa and graduated from Lock Haven University. Ramona and I first worked together on the WNCI Morning Zoo in Columbus , Oh and have been a team since 2000. I also did mornings on WMMS in Cleveland, and WNVZ in Norfolk. Ramona told me to mention I'm a columnist for a parenting magazine called Little Ones. My wife thinks I should mention I was on TLC's What Not to Wear. I believe, more importantly, I was on Baywatch. You may remember me as pasty Frisbee player #3. I love beer and all Philadelphia sports teams. I'm not a fan of hippies, commies or people in costumes. I think most people on the far left or right are insane or unemployed. Hi definition big screen TV 's and the dvr are the greatest inventions ever. That's all I have. if anything is written after this it wasn't by me.
