1. You got into radio in high school -- what prompted you to go into radio? What appealed to you about radio? And did you know right away that it was what you wanted to do for a career?
I was in 8th grade at South Woods Middle School in Syosset, Long Island, talking to a teacher of mine after a class, and he knew I was a big sports fan and loved listening to sport talk radio, so he mentioned to me that the high school I was going to the following year, Syosset High School, had one of only three student run high school radio stations on Long Island. I was a huge sports fan and grew up always listening to sports talk radio on both WFAN/ESPN New York, and I realized very early on that I had such a passion for radio and an interest in learning more about it. The appeal of radio for me early on was how conversational the medium is. I loved the way you can interact with a listener and take the listener into your life, so they feel like they really know you. I knew after doing my first sports talk show on WKWZ 88.5 Radio when I was in 9th grade that this was something I wanted to make a career in.
