SHERI LYNCH began her career in television, writing
and producing paranoia-inducing news teases. Having tired of warning
the world about the dangers lurking in dirty restaurant kitchens and
sketchy daycare centers, she agreed to create a commercial for a new
radio program. Enter Bob Lacey, wearing one of his favorite preppy
outfits. "Lose the red sweater," she suggested. "You don't want to look
like an elf, right?" To pay her back for that disrespect, Bob invited
her to be his guest on-air. That was a meeting of soul mates, and the
beginning of the long, happy Bob & Sheri partnership.
Sheri has been featured in numerous trade publications and has earned many professional honors. In 2002 and 2005, Sheri received the American Women in Radio and Television's (AWRT) highest honor, the Gracie Allen Award, in recognition of her outstanding achievement in the realistic portrayal of women in media. In 2004, Sheri won the Charlotte Business Journal's "Women in Business Achievement Award." She has been named Best Local Radio Personality by Creative Loafing magazine for over ten consecutive years. Bob & Sheri has also received six nominations for the radio industry's highest honor, the Marconi Award, presented by the National Association of Broadcasters.
Sheri's best-selling first book, Hello, My Name is Mommy (St. Martins Press), is currently in its fourth printing. Her second book, Be Happy, Or I'll Scream!, was released by St. Martins Press in late February 2006. Sheri is married, with two young daughters and a step -- or, as she prefers, bonus son.
