WHTF/Tallahassee (2nd stint)1. How would you describe your first radio gig?
Crazy Fun! I was lucky enough to be under the wing of Dom Theodore, Spyder Harrison and Kane! FLZ was the best learning grounds!
2. What led you to a career in radio?
Well, I've always been involved in theatre, and when I started listening to MJ and BJ in the morning, I was driven to bug the hell out of them. Eventually they shut me up with an internship.
3. It's our 10th anniversary this year. What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was 15. Oh crap! That's the year I lost my virginity to the star swimmer at my High School. Man, I was a pimp!
4. What would you like to be doing 10 years from now?
Programming! I want to lead young up and comers the way I was taught ... with lots of dedication and fun!
5. How has the transition been coming back to Tallahassee from KC?
I feel like I'm 'coming home' again, and Opus Broadcasting has helped make the whole transition that much more awesome.
6. Who is your favorite air personality not on your staff and why do you like them?
Definitely, my boy Kane @ FLZ! I know he gets a lot of props, but he honestly is my fave. I've learned much from him. He still has that originality and rare ability to reinvent himself.
7. What do you do to keep ahead of your listeners in terms of trends, likes and dislikes?
I'm always watching entertainment programs, video channels like MTV, and reading tons of magazines! Another easy way is to just chat with your listeners. Take time to ask some questions.
8. What was your favorite station to listen to when you were a kid?
Z100 New York! I grew up in Brooklyn, and listening to The Jammer (now Spyder Harrison) was awesome.
9. Do you have a favorite hobby outside of radio?
I'm hugely into the import car scene! I have A 2003 Mitsubishi EVO 8. Now up to 500 horsepower and counting. It's amazing what kind of power you can squeeze out of a 4 cylinder sedan.
10. What music do you listen to when you're not working?
I'm an old school freestyle guy. Lil' Suzy, Debbie Deb and Stevie B is what floods my iPOD.
Bonus Questions
How did you get your on-air name?
I was interning with Spyder Harrison @ FLZ. Since I was chunky and wired, he started calling me MO' BOUNCE, and it stuck! Thanks, Spydie!
