It all started for me when I was growing up in St. Louis an I’d listen to KSHE-95 the HUGE Rock station and the oldest in the country. I always thought that there’s a job I could really get into. When I finally did it was fifteen years later in Crestview Florida at a small Country station 104.9 WAAZ.

The country format wasn’t too much to my liking and so I got a part-time gig on TK-101 in Penascola. That’s what really opened my eyes to the Rock format. While working one summer putting up wood fence in Pensacola I would listen to all my friends on the air and said to myself “I’m getting back into radio if it’s the last thing I do” So later that year I got a job at 96.9 WDJR in Enterprise Alabama.

From there they moved the station to Dothan and I worked in that town until 2001 when I got a job in Columbus Georgia for two years at a Classic Rocker. Loved the people and the town but we got sold and I returned to Dothan as Program Director at WESP 102.5. Then last year I came up to Brevard to help my Mom out after we lost Dad. I really have a long term connection with this area going back to 1969 and Camp Sequoyah in Weaverville where I worked and got to love these mountains. I got on here in October of 2014 and love the people and city. In my spare time I’m down in the basement jamming to some Rock cd while doing woodworking, or on the French Broad in my kayak. I miss working on my old ’36 Dodge but I had to sell her but, I have a real passion for classic cars of all sorts.
