My Story:

 

Always wanted to work in radio.  As a kid, when my friends were playing cops and robbers, I was on the porch with a transistor radio to my ear, studying everything.  After I got out of the Air Force, I took some classes at the Columbia School of Broadcasting.  Interned on WBTQ and WBUC starting in 1986.  The rest is just as uninteresting.
