BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Started Part Time on Sister AC 99.9 KTDY in December '99, board op and fill in. In March of '01, was promoted to Night Time Jock on Sister Alternative KFTE Planet Radio 96.5 and in '02 was upped to MD. We flipped our Classic Rock to Rhythm in November of '03, it was then I started doing mornings, and given APD/MD stripes. We revamped the Morning Show in '05, The Hot Morning Playhouse with Chris Logan and Digital, so I'm knee deep in that right now, and in June of this year promoted to PD.
1. What was your last non-Industry job?
Carpenter
2. Why Radio?
I was always a huge music lover, I still am, any style, any format, I love it all !
3. You've been promoted to PD since the last time we visited. Congratulations on the promotion. What's been the biggest change in your day since taking on PD duties?
Thanks, I think the answer is TIME...I think I have it under control somewhat now, but it is a little tough getting here at 5 am for the morning show and staying the bulk of the work day here to get promotions done, take calls and whatever other fires that need to be put out during the day.
4. What animal would be describe you as a person and why?
Lion, because he is the King of The Jungle!
5. While you aren't particularly close to New Orleans, the recovery of New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina affects the entire state. What's the mood like?
The mood here in Lafayette seems to be somewhat back to normal, even though in the back of your mind, you know things down there are still not right, and part of you thinks, will it ever be the New Orleans that we all once knew? As much as I hope it will, I have doubts...Bourbon St. may be what you remember, and the Superdome, but it's the people who make New Orleans, and not everyone has made the decision to go back.
6. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Still here at KRKA, programming the best radio station in the market.
7. Who do you consider to be your mentor?
Rob Summers, who was PD at KFTE when I was there....What a great guy.
8. Leno or Letterman? Conan or Kimmel?
None of the above...they need writers to be funny !
9. Highlight of your senior prom?
Dude, hmmmm..so much....I actually went with Jenny, who's my wife of 11 years now....my white tuxedo, Raybans's...Whoomp, There it Is...Paperboy's Ditty. What a party...All of the alcohol, whoops....nevermind, I was 17
10. If you were to leave Radio today and you could choose any other occupation, what would it be?
Coaching, I coach my son's soccer and t-ball teams, I actually enjoy it.
Bonus Questions
You are driving across country. Each night in your hotel room you have to watch the same 2 TV shows (different episodes each night). What 2 shows would they be?
Survivor and American Idol...I'm a reality show junkie.
A freak gravitational shift has added three hours to everyday. What would you do with those extra three hours?
One hour for a nap and I'll spend the other two here at work, finding something to do because I love it so much.
