How Does Your Hoarding Compare To Other People?
LA CONCHITA, CA - JANUARY 14: Resident Brandon Lindauer helps his neighbors sort through scattered belongings found after the deadly mudslide that killed at least 10 people, on the first day that evacuated residents are allowed to return to their devastated community January 14, 2005 in La Conchita, California. With at least three people still missing, rescuers suspended search efforts after the hillside above shifted, raising concern that another mudslide could occur. 15 homes were destroyed and 16 damaged when the mudslide poured over part of the small seaside town of 260 people at the end of the area's heaviest rainfall in a 15-day period since records began in 1921.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
