Chris Austin

Hey thanks for coming to my page! It's good to be back here in the Concho Valley. I grew up near Cleveland, Ohio, but have lived in Texas for most of my life including here in San Angelo from 2014 to '17. The Cleveland in me still shines through though. I'm a fan of the Browns, Cavs and Indians. Being a Cleveland sports fan isn't easy and I sometime curse my parents for allowing me to be born in an area with such a tortured sports city. I should also say I am a Texas Aggie, so maybe that prepared me for disappointments when it comes to sports. ;) I'm also a big fan of live music and love the Texas and Red Dirt scene we have here so when I'm not on the air, you'll likely catch me at a concert whether it's here in the Concho Valley or anywhere else in Texas! I'll see you out there, I hope!
