Started part-time/weekends at FM-101 (WDAE-FM) in mid-1973 while attending USF.

Early 1974?? 6-midnight for a while then promoted to PM drive and MD until they changed format to beautiful music.

You can probably fill in more adroitly than I can as my memory of actual radio stuff is very foggy.

I remember more clearly the fun you Mark Champion, Rick Morgan I had off the air!

Started in radio at WKXY/Sarasota in 1971 while at Riverview High School.

WYND/Sarasota 1973

WDAE-FM/Tampa 1973-Early 1975??

WKKO/Cocoa, FL Afternoon Drive/MD/PD 1975-1980

WCKS-FM/Cocoa Beach, FL 1980-1981. Mid-days/PD

ARB Rated #1 12+, 18-64. 44% audience share in a 17 station market. Oh, the glory days before the internet and I-phones!!! I still have a copy of that ARB!!

Retired from radio in 1981 and began working in the Plant Nursery business. Grew the company to 40 acres selling plants to 43 Home Depot stores for

35 years. Note the promo picture attached with Tommy Chong endorsing that I “grow nice stuff”. Never could use it though!!!

Worked fill in at WSRZ (Z-106)/Sarasota in 1988-1990 for fun.

Sold my interest in the nursery biz in 2015 and happily retired in Sarasota selling Antique Radios and vintage Guitar Amp tubes on eBay!

Happily married for the last 21 years and remember fondly the radio scene as it was….back in the day!!
