![]() ![]() So there was a lot of sleepless nights there and then didn't know anybody in that scenario and so here I am with two young children and my lovely wife and oh I didn't know what to do. To move emotionally from Michigan down to East Tennessee I think was the strangest and hardest thing to do because we had a sick family member at the time. So most of those were because I either got it just didn't work out or I needed a change, it wasn't making any money and so those were all big things. Well, nearly every move I made it was out of necessity so I was quite scared. And then just by dumb luck, I get to a point where it was terrifically lucrative, which can't be said I was very lucky to be able to have that happen because too often I hear about radio morning people and just radio people in general who just die on the vine and the dream dies because they can't eat. And then I got offered a morning job at that station, and that put it into a different realm once mornings took hold, and I was like, now I can see that this is something on a selfish level that is even more satisfying to me. So I went back to college, got a degree completely unrelated to this, and was ready to walk away. So I felt at a young age, I was getting stale. I then started to get a little wore out with radio because I was just kind of liner jockeying it. The overnight guy got fired, so I'm full time overnight, full time nights, full time afternoon. And then everybody started people just wear out their welcome at radio stations, whatever. Would cost me more in gas than the amount of money that I was making. After the internship at the Riff, I did a morning show at the college station once a week, and then that went to the professional level to earning $5 an hour overnights on the weekend. ![]() I was doing a show on a high school radio station weekly, playing rap music because I went to a phase where I loved rap, so I called myself Easy Rhyme, played rap songs, and then everything kind of developed. ![]()
