At 16, I built my own, small AM
radio station in my bedroom and practiced being a disc jockey by broadcasting for an hour each night. I rode my bicycle to our local station and the
general manager of WWST hired me when I graduated.
Armed with my first ever car (a 1957 Studebaker),
I managed to get a full-time position as a staff announcer at WJER in Dover,
Ohio.
My childhood dream had become a reality at age 19. I
ended up with a 34-year extensive career in radio. I was a disc jockey and later a radio newsman at stations in five different states ending in the Tampa Bay market in 1998.
