I was a bus boy at a local bar downtown. Shout out to the guy who crapped on the floor of the bathroom. You are the reason I am in radio. I thank you for that.

I don't want to think about that.
3. What's the highlight of your radio career to date?
Being woken up from a nap by my boss, LAUREN MICHAELS ( on the phone). She called asking me to do nights at Jammin 107.1. I had been out of radio for a year until then.
4. What's your favorite part of an air personality?
Talking to people. I love interacting with strangers. It's amazing what a stranger will tell you if you just ask. Try it sometime.
5. Where do you see yourself in five years?
So much has happened in two years that I can't imagine what will happen in five years. If you would have asked me this question five years ago my answer would have been…"jail".

No, I have a feeling that is a bad thing.

At Quincy's for our weekly Club night. I'm not allowed to drink 'til I'm off, so I'm waiting for midnight to have a drink!
8. What area of your "game" do you want to improve?
Music, Programming, even Sales I want to know it all so when I win the lotto I can launch WJKE, All Jake All The Time. I guess I should be networking with other jocks. Once again something that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!
9. What specifically have you improved on in the last six months on-air?
My interaction with my listeners. My listeners have taken over. I'm building my confidence and trusting my abilities.
