Oldies 97.3 Mr. Big
Mr. Big shows
Mr. Big was in third grade when the Bob Braun Show came to the Victory Theater downtown. WDTN was providing the camera equipment. When I walked into the auditorium, I saw the cameras and knew at that moment I wanted to be in broadcasting. Fast forward to sophomore year at Northridge High School, I discovered the school had a student operated radio station! WGXM, 97.3 FM. I started as a board operator and eventually became the station’s promotions director. Since graduation, I have worked at Dayton Access Television (DATV) and freelanced for Speedvision, TNN and ESPN. I am a big pro wrestling and UFC fan. Married for 27 years to Jenifer and I have two kids. One is graduated and the other is approaching halfway through high school.
I love volunteering at Oldies 97.3 FM because I get to bring enjoyment to listeners by playing he same music I listened to when I was young. Some of my radio heroes are Lou Emm, Kerrigan and Christopher, and King and Dorsey.
