Hey, my name is Rob Banks, born and raised in Lancaster, NY. I originally went to school to become a doctor at UB....and that dream got completely derailed when I stumbled into radio after my short-lived lacrosse career in college.

When not on the air, there's no doubt I'll be doing one of the following: playing the guitar, fishing, playing games (massive euchre guy), and travelling.
