This was my last major position at iHeart Media, in which I was responsible for day to day operations across multiple station formats including 2 Top 30 Country Stations in the El Paso and Albuquerque Markets (Big I 107.9, 96.3 KHEY Country,) A Classic Country (98.1 The Bull) and News/Talk and Sports formats(News Radio 690 and Fox Sports 1380) These daily operations also included an on air PM Drive shift across El Paso and Albuquerque KHEY-FM/KBQI-FM uniquely tailored to local market needs with local endorsements along with Social and Content posting on station websites.Due to the market size in El Paso there was no promotions staff. I was responsible for Station Marketing and Promotions and approval of sales proposals for all stations under my watch. I was able to keep successful ratings in demo and across day parts across multiple stations in multiple markets. Very excited to have brought back local programming to News/Talk, Sports formats in El Paso in PM Drive. Both stations have been without for many years.Developed a strong working relationship with Music Labels for additional benefits to the music formats as both Country stations in my watch were Panel Stations.

Life was fun at Austin's Sports Talk Leader AM1300 The Zone!In this role, I oversaw the daily logs and on air programming at KVET and am a backup programmer at KTKR in San Antonio. Currently I am on air weekends with the Great Outdoors with Ken Milam. I took the "and any other duties as assigned" part of my job to heart, you can find me working on all kinds of projects.I was lucky enough to start off by running the boards for UT Sports. I quickly moved into running the weekend shows and graduated to The Sports Buffet with Craig Way and Rod Babers. The show was a 3 hour show that ran in Austin and San Antonio(KTKR, Ticket 760) that focused on sports topics of the day as well as local and regional sports teams. The show ended its 10+ year run in June 2017.I am very proud to have been the first producer to run the network version of this show and am proud to have a hand in adding our outdoor show "The Great Outdoors" with Ken Milam as a simulcast program on WOAI in San Antonio.Network broadcasts are my specialty as I oversaw much of the athletics broadcasts for Texas State as well.This position also required me to handle much of the day to day operations including production and promo work for not only the buffet but most of the programs on the station. I also watched over most of the live broadcasts run on the station. The other half of my job as an engineer can be demanding as I assist the engineering staff with day to day operations for 7 stations. I was glad to call iHeart Media Austin my home.This is a social media intensive job that requires you to stay on top of current trends and news. With constant changes in technology there is always something new to adapt and embrace.

This position is the ultimate customer service position, my work helped keep the overall presentation of our product as pleasing to prospective buyers as possible. I was in charge of the maintenance of store owned stringed instruments as well as the evaluation, troubleshooting and final repair of customer owned equipment.This was not a light job, Most folks come to me expecting an answer and a solution to a problem or the suggestion of how to make what they have better. often times I was called in as the first or last line of customer service. Part of my job was to locate unique and hard to find parts or items for repairs and has made me an expert in locating and sourcing. as a non commissioned member of the sales team my job was to make the rest of the group shineI was lucky enough to start a strong legacy at the store I was located at that was well documented across social media. I also was able to obtain serveral factory certifications that I will continue to hold.

As promotions coordinator my main job was to help boost station image for KASE-FM and KFMK-FM. This included the oversight of station promotional events where listeners would win prizes or enter contests and the like. This job was a hands on job and it was not uncommon for me to be out in the field not only for my assigned stations but for the other 4 stations in the cluster at the time KPEZ-FM, KVET, KVET-FM and KHFI-FM. this position reported to a promotions director and ultimately Market Manager. I enjoyed working here and was saddened when the position was eliminated due to financial cutbacks.my secondary position there had me overseeing the broadcast operations on Sundays and any other day as assigned when needed. I was responsible for keeping all stations on the air with content and making sure Sunday morning KASE-FM programming went off without a hitch.
