You hear them on the radio but who really ARE the personalities that make up the staff at The Shore?
Name: Don “da Pyrate” Winfield
The Early Years: He was born in Binghamton, NY, and raised in a humble home on a dirt road, eight miles from Binghamton, NY. The Winfield clan consisted of both parents and eight progeny. Don da Pyrate was the youngest of the bunch.
Don lived in that house until he joined the U.S. Army at age 18. His primary school years were unremarkable. Learning came easy, so his books were always turned in new, at the end of each year.
The Middle Years: A fairly routine life of working, living, and learning. Business owner, corporate manager, mental health professional.
The Latter Years: After leaving the working world, Don settled into a life of writing fiction and then, suddenly his reverie was interrupted by a miscalculation. He miscalculated that his note to “The Shore” would ever be read, and that if so, it wouldn't simply be ignored. The infamous note to The Shore was critical of some of the programming, and the big kahuna must have thought that if I could do any better, I should step up. Jimmy asked me to get involved as an admin on The Shore's facebook page. Things went downhill from there, and here I am.
Musical Secret: Life long Warren Zevon fan. Warren's words have seen me through a lot of life and made things go a lot smoother than they may have.
Boxers or Briefs? Commando in a kilt! (Briefs, generally.)
Fave Drinks: A.) Party time: Margaritas B.) Cocktail time: Vodka Martini (Tito's Handmade Vodka, from Austin TX is the best!) C.) Only one beer will do (rare occasion) = Dos Equis (green bottle/no lime)
Last Book Read: (by a mainstream author) – John Grisham's “Gray Mountain”
Experiences I Don't Remember? I forget....hummmmm......
