What's up! You know, I knew that I wanted to be in radio by the time I hit my teens. I grew up in the small town of Whitman, Massachusetts. I found my inspiration for the microphone listening to great radio stations like 92Pro-FM in Providence, Rhode Island. My favorite show was American Top 40 with Casey Kasem on Sunday Morning. By the time I hit high school, I had my sights on the student run radio station. After I screwed that up...I went off to college; Mount Wachusett Community College in Gradner, MA. They had a great broadcasting program. My first "real" radio job was at very tiny radio station with an antenna in a cow pasture called Wink98 in Winchendon, MA. My job was to change these old fashioned reels of tape which had the stations music on them. My big radio debut came soon after, announcing the weather once an hour...WOW! I have also worked at great radio stations like WXLO in Worcester, MA, which reminds me of the time when I fell asleep on the air during the graveyard shift. Fortunately, the Program Director was sleeping too. Fun 107 in New Bedford, MA also was graced with my presence. I made history at that station, being the only DJ to play the wrong rap song on a CD which needed a parental advisory...Ooops I didn't know that many cuss words existed!?! I then moved to 96-3 The Rose in Cape Cod, MA on the Morning show and I was also the Program Director. My last stop was 6 years in Portsmouth, New Hampshire as manager of 4 radio stations including 107.1 WERZ. I am now very excited to have the opportunity to be at 98.5 KRZ. KRZ is the greatest station I have been privileged to come to…lots of fast food restaurants reaally close to the studio as well! I have met so many awesome listeners in Northeast PA and I want to meet you too!
