Shawn "Puffy" Novatt is back at BLI after a seven-year layover! You may remember him as the producer of the morning show back from 2000-2004. Now, he is proud to be back as the Executive Producer of BLI in the Morning! He graduated from Hofstra University where he worked at 88.7fm WRHU, and has worked all over the radio dial, including KJOY 98.3, B103, 94-X, WHLI-AM, and WOR-AM.
He is the perfect example of a "radio geek." If it happens on the radio dial, he knows about it. If you don't hear him on the air in the morning, it's because he's probably at the vending machines getting a snack!
Birthday: March 14, 1977.
Favorite BLI Song: Almost anything by P!nk.
Favorite TV Show: Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, The Defenders, Law & Order SVU Favorite Movie: The Back To The Future Trilogy. (Geek Alert!)
Favorite Long Island Restaurant: La Piazza in Plainview.
Best thing about Long Island: It's close to NYC, but it's far from anything you see in NYC!
If I didn't live on Long Island, I'd live: Somewhere Else!
If I didn't work in radio, I'd be: A Radio Teacher
Hobbies: Radio and the Internet.
The team I root for the most: Let's Go Mets!
Secret Talent: I can squeak like a duck. Don't ask.
Famous Last Words: "Free Food? YAY!"
