Saturdays 8AM to 1PM

It seems that I have been blessed with a face for radio, so here is a pic of me in my natural element of the CRG main production studio hiding behind the trusty broadcast standard EV RE20 mic.

I have been on radio in central IL since 1995. My radio journey began in Jacksonville and somehow has me here doing radio in Springfield. I entered the Springfield market in September of 2011 and now find myself working here for Capitol Radio Group. During the week (my real job, “Production Director”) I produce commercials for the various CRG stations.

To make some extra scratch, I have a home studio as to where I voice commercials for other radio and tv stations along with doing some agency work.
