Hi, I’m a radio guy. This website is about
radio--for the most part. It has a little history, a Cincinnati hook and some stuff about me as I try to stay upright
on what Fred Allen called "The Treadmill to Oblivion." I was "bitten
by the radio bug" when I was a kid but didn't serious consider a career in the business until halfway through my senior
year in high school. I love the sounds and nuances of radio. I love
the occasional pauses. I love the pictures it paints upon the canvas of the imagination—in fact, one of my
radio programs is even titled Theatre of the Mind. I love music on the radio. I still love to DX (ask your grandpa what that means!)
I collect old radios, I research its history and even co-founded and oversee a non-profit organization dedicated to
preserving its history. I love the now-forgotten concept of "voices in the
ether" and warmly remember those dark, star-filled nights when distant cities would come booming in on my late-grandpa's
old Zenith console and wonder how amazing it must have been for a 1932-era farmer, tied to his farm during the depression,
must’ve felt to hear that same distant city over his farm-battery set. I’ve
worked in radio for nearly 25-years. I’ve won some awards, done some cool
things, made lots of friends and interviewed some famous people along the way.
Thanks to radio and some understanding family and friends, I’ve had a blast so far. I hope it
continues for awhile longer! So thanks
for hanging out here for a few minutes and if you have any comments or questions or just want to talk "radio"
(opposed to "talk radio"), drop me a line.
