OH HELLO! I'm Colby Howell. You want to know about me... How bored are you? HAHA! I'm kidding. I do that often. Anyhoo, I am a ULL graduate with a B.A. in Communications. I am a huge ULL fan and can often be seen wearing a red hat. I like to occupy my time with working and playing video games when I finally find the time for it. I am very tech savvy and love a good trivia question. I've been with KPEL for over a year now and also work for ESPN 1420 AM and 99.9 KTDY when they call on me. I like big hugs and a good glass of whiskey. Feel free to shoot me an email at colby.howell@townsquaremedia.com or colbyjack@999ktdy.com.
