\"\"Born and raised in the land of funk (Dayton, Ohio) I was lucky enough to hear some of the best music that have influenced me though my life. From local radio to the great bands and solo acts, I got the itch for radio early in my life. One of the first paying jobs came at the age of 10, while in grade school, I was a skating dj at my neighborhood recreation center.<\/p>\n

After graduation in 1979, I enlisted in the military (U.S. Army) to expand my knowledge and music taste too. And at each stop I met a lot of local dj’s who would take me under their wing and broaden my talents. After the military, I settled back in Dayton and in 1984 got married to my best friend of 34 years. Then in 1985 I went on the radio for the first time at WYSO. As my family responsibility grew I decided to get out but the itch was still there, in 1988 after meeting a friend of a friend (sounds like a song title) I spent a year at WWSU as a consultant and eventually going back on the air.<\/p>\n

After my job transfer, I returned back home and returned to WYSO in 1993. Then I went silent until 2014 and sent an email to our former volunteer coordinator Jimmy Keyes. After Jimmy saw I was harmless and training with John King and spending many Saturday<\/span><\/span> afternoons with Gary Quinn and part of night with The Record Saver,Tony Peters finally cut the apron strings. But there’s something else wrong, I was a dj with a football problem. The sports department swooped me up to do sideline and eventually color commentary for the Warriors and I got to see “The Shoe” twice in 2014-15 ,and during this time, with the playoffs game in football on a Saturday<\/span><\/span> night I needed to move my show, and Funky Friday’s<\/span><\/span> was born!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
