Shaggy: The local favorite shaggy was born in Virginia Beach. Right after he graduated, he took his talents to z104 and has been waking you for over 20 years. From djing at a local roller rink to hosting night clubs Will Byers is abducted by a creature from the Upside Down. His mother, Joyce, the town's police chief, Jim Hopper, and a group of volunteers search for him. A young psychokinetic girl named Eleven escapes from the laboratory and is found by friends of Will. Eleven befriends and assists them in their efforts to find Will. A year later in October 1984. Will has been rescued. When it is discovered that Will is still being possessed by an entity from the Upside Down, his friends and family learn there is a larger threat to their universe.

Nick: Here's a crazy but true story. When I first came to Z104 back in 2004, I was very nervous before my first day at a new station, in a new city. I was nervous there wouldn't be anything interesting to talk about. My first day on the air was the day after the Janet Jackson Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction". True story! I was born in Detroit, Michigan and I'm proud to be a native Michigander. But moving to Virginia was by far one of the best decisions I've ever made. I met my beautiful wife Nicole here, and we now have a beautiful daughter, Mia. I absolutely LOVE being a #GirlDad. I always thought radio would be my favorite job, but it's a close second behind being a father. When I'm not in the studio or playing with Barbies, I'm usually at the gym. I never thought I'd be one of those people with the big jug of protein powder in my garage, but I am DEFINITELY that guy. I also love the beach, football and hockey, and hosting weekend events at the Waterside Marketplace in Norfolk. My favorite TV shows are SNL and Chopped on Food Network. My favorite movies are Ocean's Eleven, and pretty much EVERY MARVEL MOVIE EVER! Thanks for listening every morning. Let me know if you want to go grab a beer some time!

Natalia: This all started as an intern and now on the Z Morning Zoo…Natalia is a Spicy Ukrainian with the gift of gab. Don’t come at her unless you want a “clap back”! She is a native of Northern Virginia now living in Virginia Beach. She is 100% Ukrainian as both her parents are from Ukraine. Natalia loves to travel the world, reading, cooking, working out. She would have worked in forensics or as a detective if radio hadn’t worked out due to her love of crime documentaries. Natalia could eat pizza or brunch items all day long if she wasn’t such a health nut. Her true love are her two boys, Roman and Joseph. She loves all animals (other than spiders, flys, cockroaches, mosquitos, snakes, mice, worms, and sloths) A few other fun facts: Graduated from Christopher Newport University (go Captains!) She has a high strung mini Aussie named Cocoa. Oh and makeup…shopping…and wine or spicy margaritas.
