About
I started in 2005 with a mic, a stubborn streak, and no patience for average. Since then I’ve launched stations, built audiences, and kept the lights on with pure drive.
Timeline
2005 → now: on air, writing, producing, selling. The whole circus, minus the clowns.
495 FM / WAIR: Lost Classic Hits + talk with high-energy breaks and sponsor slots that actually convert.
The Grid: networking that actually networks. Category exclusives, QR profiles, interviews, real local deal-making.
Brands I Run
