Name: Christopher Gabriel

Hometown: Chicago

Been with FM107 since: Memorial Day, 2007

What is your role at FM107?: ?: I am the Assistant Director of Plant and Wildlife Growth.

What do you wish your role was at FM107?: I’d like to be the Director of Plant and Wildlife Growth.

Share a favorite FM107 moment: It was in the parking lot on September 20th, I’ll never forget it:  Ian Punnett allowed me to look at his car.  It was at that point I knew I had arrived.

Share some behind the scenes FM107 gossip:From 9 pm to midnight every Wednesday, the FM107 studio is home to Russian Satellite Radio Station CJP19’s show, Get Minsk Girls.

List all of the "hats" you wear in your current life: I wear a lot of hats, but the two that matter the most are Husband and Father.

Describe any past fashion fads that you at the time embraced but now regret: Platform shoes, linen pants and silk shirts back in the 70's.  Throw in a large splash of Brut Cologne and let me tell you, that was the perfect recipe for now being ridiculed by my teenage nieces, my sisters-in-law...pretty much anyone who sees the pictures prominently displayed in my parents' home.

Name a television character past or present that best describes your personality: Lou Grant on The Mary Tyler Moore Show

What's your favorite comfort food?: Sushi...no question about it.

If there was an FM107 reality show who would get kicked out of the house first?: Paul Black, absolutely no question.  Paul is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life.  And yet......when you're around him for awhile, something slowly begins to unnerve you.  And then it becomes clear: He has a dark, duplicitous, almost sinister side to him that is easily missed.  But I've not missed it...oh yeah, I see it.  I feel it.  And I fear it.  He would have to go down....immediately.  

Do you believe in love at first sight?: I believe in 'WOW!!!!  Something is really special about that person and I absolutely have to meet her' at first sight.  18 years later, I still feel that way about my wife.

First celebrity crush: Judy Jetson.  She was hot, sassy, smart and funny.  The fact she was a cartoon -- merely an obstacle.  Quite frankly, I'm not sure I'm over her...

Latest celebrity crush: The whole notion of a crush is almost absurd to me at this point in my life...I barely have time to sleep, eat, change diapers and have tea parties much less have a crush.  That said, if pushed into a corner, I'd have to go with Melina Kanakaredes from CSI: NY.

Name another person on this earth you would love to trade places with for a day (and why): Any actor from the Royal Shakespeare Company.  Coming from a classical theatre background, it was always my dream to perform on the RSC stage in either London or Stratford-upon-Avon.  There would be no greater thrill than walking out as, say, Henry V or Iago, and uttering those magnificent lines in those historic settings.

Name the last good movie you saw: The 2006 non-animated version of Charlotte's Web...beautifully done.  It's a timeless story that resonated so much more for me as my wife and I watched it with our nearly-4 year old daughter.

Name the last good book you read: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know, by Dr. Meg Meeker.  Inspiring.  You can always be a better dad and if you have daughters, this book will never be far from you once you read it.  

What TV show(s) are you currently hooked on?: The vast majority of my free time is spent with my wife and daughters.  However, I do love watching college football / basketball any time of day or night, especially when my Tennessee Volunteers are on, The Weather Channel, most anything on HGTV and...Jakers! The Adventures of Piggly Winks!  If you're a parent of a child between 3 and 5 years old, this show is as good as it gets.  And I'm here to tell you -- I LOVE the show!!  It teaches children wonderful lessons, it never puts anyone in a bad light and it's extremely smart and funny.
