Hired to compete in a market with a 50 year heritage station with a syndicated morning show. Changed the way it was delivered and executed and made it a top 5 show for 6 months in 2019. station overall knocked on the top 5 that summer, then the world stopped. That changed everything. Was proud of what we accomplished given the situation. Personal reasons made me seek out a change.

We made a good run at it with the tools we were given. It's hard to take down 30 years of heritage. The plug was pulled after 6 months. It was fun.

I had the unique challenge of programming a station for a small company in a small town on the fringe of two top 100 markets (Baton Rouge and New Orleans). The station competed with two country stations in New Orleans and the two others in Baton Rouge. I established great relationships with record labels, promotion companies and venues. These relationships led to the station putting on some big promotions including the first country concert in the area in over 5 years. The station finished first in the Spring 2007 Eastlan ratings.

Was hired to do nights on 96.5 The Star but within a year was moved to Afternoon Drive. Had a well rated afternoon show, W18-34 and W 25-54. Very listener focused and driven. Heavy, compelling phones and local content. As a station we were very active. We had the reputation as "the party station" and upheld it at all of our events. .

Was picked up by Entercom Denver when I went in to get my last paycheck from Emmis. The other station in the office, Alice 105.9, was sold to Entercom. Little did I know, someone I knew from Indianapolis was hired as their new PD. He hired me on the spot to help with production and be their main swing talent. After a staff change, I was moved to the asstiant production director's job for the cluster.

Middays on 96.5 The Peak was an alterative 80s station, before 80s stations became trendy. It was, and still is, the most fun I've ever had working at a station. Unfortunately, Emmis sold the station after being unable to aquire other stations in the market. The format was flipped Spanish.

This was a great gig. 93.9 The Bear. Being a night person to begin with, then to get paid to stay up and play music and hone my craft was a dream come true. Susquehanna was a great company to work for. In the fall of 2000 rumors of the station's format being changed got hotter and I was told I would be wise to see what was out there. Point taken. I looked. Denver called.
