That includes 30 years in the Twin Cities, where Al has been active in radio, television, wire service, and digital media.
A native of Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, Al graduated from Bloomsburg University, where he was a member of Delta Pi social fraternity.

Al has won more than 30 broadcast awards both nationally and locally in five different states.
In addition to working with the WCCO radio news team, Al is a public address announcer for Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul and Augsburg University in Minneapolis.
He is also known to fill in for various teams, including the Minnesota Wild (press box PA) and Hamline Pipers.
Among Al’s favorite aspects of being Minnesotan are the State Fair and the boy’s high school hockey state tournament.
Al lives in the Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul along with his wife Amy — a White Bear Lake native and graduate of Hill-Murray and the U of M — and their cat, Clover.
