1983 - 1986 WPLP began as a PT board op and worked to FT, then executive producer for all our talk shows there. In 1984 I did my first fill in stint on air for a week when Richard Shanks took vacation which led to a weekend show, both Saturday and Sunday afternoons for almost 2 years.

1886 - 1987 WTMV V-32 working as executive producer of the Richard Shanks TV talk show until he decided to moon our audience and they decided to cancel the show.

1988 - 1992 PD WWNZ in Orlando

1992 - 1995 Executive News Producer for KTRH in Houston

1995 - 1998 Director of News and Programming WSYR and WHEN in Syracuse plus ran the SU football and basketball radio network.

1998 - 2000 WGST in Atlanta as Director of Programming and News plus ran the Atlanta Flacons radio network. Station bought by Clear Channel in 1999 and I have been with the company ever since.

2000 - now - First Director of AM Programming in Houston for KTRH, KPRC and KBME. In June 2002 became Cluster PD for 3 AM's and 5 FM's and in September became RVPP. And here I be. I only do on-air as a fill in and for regular pop-ins and programming boy. Also am star trivia wiz on Fridays at 5p for Reverse Trivia where I am the trivia czar with expertise on CaddyShack, Blues Brothers and The Godfather.

Graduated from Largo HS in 1977 and USF in 1982. During HS I hung around 570 AM at the time WFSO as a rock stalker and prize pig which apparently was foreshadowing for my future career start at WPLP.
