For almost 30 years, Steve Thomson has lived his childhood dream of being a radio announcer on Minnesota's most prestigious station, WCCO in Minneapolis.

Before he hosted shows opining and interviewing with big-name guests about the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Gophers, Wild, and more in one of the nation's largest markets, Thomson was the Voice of the University of Sioux Falls athletics for five years in the 1990's, among other gigs in South Dakota's largest city.

The St. Paul native shares stories of Bob Young and the 1996 national championship team that featured future South Dakota coaching legends Kalen DeBoer and Kurtiss Riggs. He also describes his own unique radio path both to Sioux Falls and the Twin Cities, including a vivid memory of the day his dream came true at WCCO.

Thomson also shares how a tragic event in his life involving one of his daughters has shaped his outlook on life ever since.
