BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Started my career as a parttime street team guy with NRG Media in Omaha, NE. Over the course of 7 years with NRG Media, I progressed up the ladder from street team, to morning show producer, to weekend jock, to midday jock/social media director, to evening jock/APD. After 2 years of being APD, my wife and I packed up and moved to Boise in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. I had a year off of being in radio before taking my current position last October with Iliad Media Group and being Program Director for Wild 101.
