I got my start in broadcasting at a radio station in Portland, OR. I worked at a station called KNRK 94.7, my title was "Paul The Prize Guy." It was the best job ever, I was the promotion guy that would deliver prizes to people. I was the fella who everyone was very happy to see. I also had many on-air opportunities for their morning show, making just $5.00 and hour... Thanks Mom for helping me with rent each month!

It takes a lot of skill being a DJ... You have to learn how to run the board, getting your timing down, recording phoners etc. When you have your own on-air shift you are your own director, producer and talent. It can get a little stressful, but there is nothing better then the thrill of putting together a good show.

My brother and I had a very successful show in Cincinnati called "Horton's House Party." I miss it terribly but guess what; I have my first shift on-air in Phoenix this Saturday! Make sure to tune your dials to 98.7 "The Peak" this weekend from 7 to midnight. If you haven't heard the Peak before it is an amazing station that was a creation of program director, Joel Grey. It's almost like listening to your I-Pod, and they play any type of music they want. Ohhh and they never repeat a song once during the day! Can't wait, I hope I don't make any mistakes!
Have a great rest of the week,
