David Sharp

Born in Tampa, and a graduate of Chamberlain High. But it was in Boone, NC, where I started my career at the age of 13. This was in 1979 at WASU-FM (Appalachian State University), and my first PD was none other than Greg Mull.

Returned to Tampa in 1980....worked briefly for WLPJ (then a pop/rock station), then moved on to WPLA, which was my first job at a commercial radio station. Other stations I've worked at: WLFF (afternoon drive), WEND (news anchor), WBVM (presenter and sales), WRFA (presenter and sales), WLVU-FM (presenter and sales), WBSB Dade City (Sales), WDCF/WZHR (operations manager), WRFA/WZTM (presenter and producer for the sports format). While at WDCF/WZHR, I also did weekends at Warm 94.9 FM.

After WZTM, I moved over to WHNZ as a reporter, then anchored the"Afternoon News Hour" for the remainder of my tenure there. I won two AP awards in 1998: "Best Full Length Newscast" and "Best Short Light Feature." While at WHNZ (by now a Clear Channel property), I also did weekends at 102.5 The Point and occasional news updates on WFJO.

My last job in Tampa, was morning news anchor at The Joy FM. Since 2000, I have been in Australia, doing stints as production director and presenter at various stations in New South Wales and Queensland. I've also done TV voice-overs for the Seven and Ten Networks.
