BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started as an Intern for The Z and did a few morning shows, then worked my way to where I am now.
1. What got you into radio?
I was asked to help out as an intern for a new station in my hometown. I thought it would be cool so I started on the street team and fell in love with the whole vibe of radio.
2. What do you remember about your first impressions of a radio station?
I remember calling ALL the time! The radio was always on in my house, even when I was asleep.
3. What would you say is the highlight of your work day?
Hearing new music - there's something about hearing a song for the first time and knowing it's going to be a hit. It's a true rush.
4. Who do you consider your radio mentor(s)?
I would have to say that Freeze and Your Boy Q laced me up to the radio game. Tommy Del Rio has been an amazing teacher and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. I've learned so much just from listening to him. He taught me that if I just FOCUS I can do anything.
5. Where do you go to get away from it all?
I try and chill with my family and friends as much as possible. They always bring calmness to my life.
