Hey, it’s Rob Mack…
I learned long ago that I was weird…I knew what I wanted to do when I grow up. I’ve been doing that since I was in high school…hanging around a radio station. You can catch me hanging around your radio from 3-7 P.M. every weekday for your drive home. As Ted and Ryan call me “Boss Rob”…yes, I’m the boss at Candy 95, so I appreciate you spending time with us each day! If you wound up on this page, you obviously want to know a little more about me.
Some things I’m into and passionate about:
Travel
We’ve made the most of our move to Texas, exploring as much of the state as we can. We’ve visited many of our small towns around B/CS, we’ve been to all the big cities, Big Bend National Park, Caddo Lake, Palo Duro Canyon. For a long time I’ve had a goal of visiting all 50 states and I’m well over halfway there, so it’s made me set a far loftier goal: visiting every COUNTY in the United States. Not sure I’ll ever be able to pull that off.
Music
What’s on Candy 95 is my favorite…so, pop, rock, hip-hop, dance, country…it’s a common answer to say “I listen to a little bit of everything”…but I guess most people do? Count me among them.
I’ve been lucky enough to meet a few artists, as well. I’ve met Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Meghan Trainor, Calvin Harris, Camila Cabello, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, and yes…even Taylor Swift.
I don’t have a bad thing to say about any of them. Most were short, some were a little longer. I mean…I’ve actually been to Kelly Clarkson’s old house in Nashville…true story!
Health & Wellness
I had a bit of a health scare a few years ago. It’s a long story, but I lost 100 pounds. While I wasn’t trying to lose that weight, I’m very grateful that I did because I was overweight, unhealthy and had a horrible diet. I view it as a wake-up call, and I try not to get too preachy about it…but I now take my health seriously and wish more people did. Read ingredients, know what it is in the foods you eat. Eat less processed foods, and more whole foods. We get one body, and one shot on earth…I choose to make the most of it now, and I hope you do as well.
Hiking
This somewhat ties in with travel…we want to visit all of our National Parks. We’re just starting, and we love spending time in the outdoors, in the mountains, in the wilderness. I successfully transitioned my girlfriend from a beach girl to a mountain girl! My next goal is camping. While I love the outdoors, I love sleeping in a bed. I’m going to force myself to change that…or try.
That’s long enough. I’ll see you on the radio weekday afternoons!
