My interest in broadcasting began as a sophomore in high school. Attending a private school allowed for a lot of free time during the day. Much of mine was spent in the art department. The seniors were allowed to play their stereos so the room was filled music. By my junior year, the seniors were gone and so was the music. A record player with microphone borrowed from the school AV department fixed that. Soon I helped to form a small carrier current radio station so the entire student body could hear. That station, WART, barely made it to the end of campus.

My budding interest in art quickly turned to radio. I found myself listening to great AM stations around the country at night. WLS in Chicago, WABC New York, WOWO Fort Wayne Indiana and the list goes on. I had been bitten by the radio bug.

After graduation, a year at the Broadcasting Institute of Maryland prepared me for what I thought was a life in radio. I spent the next 12 years working on-air in towns of 7,000 to my hometown major market of Baltimore. I even spent some time as a TV news reporter.

The late 80’s brought a major change to the industry and it was time to try something else. I’ve owned or managed restaurants since. My interest in broadcasting has never waned and I was back in radio in the mid 90’s and owning a neighborhood bar and grille were most of the patrons were also my listeners.

Today I still manage a multi-million dollar steak house and am active voice-over artist.
