My first job in radio was in Bowling Green, Missouri in 1972, and I’ve been fortunate to have been gainfully employed (mostly) in the media ever since. I’m a native of northeast Missouri and western Illinois, and most of my time in the media has been in the area – from Hannibal, Monroe City and Branson, Missouri to Pittsfield, Virden and Jacksonville, Illinois.
Over the years, time off the air has been spent lay speaking, auctioneering, emceeing various area events, spoiling grandkids, and rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The one TV show I will make it a point to sit down and watch is NCIS. I firmly believe that anyone wanting to get into radio should be required to watch at least season one of “WKRP in Cincinnati,” along with the Clint Eastwood movie, “Play Misty for Me.”
