Broadcast media vet. Yep. Isn't that how it always starts?
Most of us radio people decide to try something new. Guess this was it. And NOW LOOK. One of the best decisions ever.
It started with a love of being in a studio and creating something that could not only sell, but bringing that spot to life. Oh wait, it started even further than that. My parent's tape recorder and a microphone and making funny voices and commericals. Seriously. I figured that out at 10 years old. Who knew! So enough about my crazy little bio here. So far, it's been Pandora radio, and the CommonCore educational system. Many more on the way. Here's to working with you and discovering great new adventures.
