BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS: At 15, I started interning at our local station in Hillsdale MI, WCSR. I'd rip the AP wire, change the automation reel-to-reels and prep for the morning guy. Anything to get my foot in the door. Don London was my first PD at WJGS/Houghton Lake. After college I was the overnight jock at The Wave in Tampa, worked at 95YNF under Carey Curelop, and segued into a Production Dir.

Gig with Cox Media where I also got my first PD job. After bouncing to Charlotte and back to Tampa, I snagged the PD's job at KBKS/Seattle in 1996. Y8.

A year, and five ownership changes later, it was back to Tampa to work for Mason Dixon. Since then I've programmed for WBTT/Dayton, Star 95.7/Tampa, WDJQ/Canton, and most recently was the OM/Content Dir./Imaging Dir. And afternoon-drive personality for Alpha Media/Canton, OH. 1, What do you do to maintain a positive mental attitude and stay motivated? My wife Dawn got me doing some yoga, and I'm surrounded by a group of terrifically supportive friends, who not only pick me up when I'm down, but are also a motivating force. How are you occupying your time, besides looking for a job? I spent the better part of September remodeling our basement and doing all those projects around the house that have needed getting done for 15 years!

Some people get discouraged or enlightened with the business when they actually step out of it for a while. Tell us your observations from the outside.

I've stopped listening to radio altogether, and it's been good, almost a cleanse. When you work in radio, you listen differently than casual listeners do. PDs also listen differently than a GM or Production Mgr. We listen for engaging jock content, the relevancy of imaging/branding of a sweeper or promo and EOM tones. If you're near a radio, you're always working, it envelopes your life. So the best thing for me was to not listen, and decompress.

Do you plan on sticking with radio? My passion is radio, it's in my blood and it's the only career I've ever had or wanted. I believe events in your life happen for a reason and that not having my contract renewed might turn out to be a blessing. There's a bigger, better position, and it's right around the corner. What's the longest stretch you've had on the beach? Six months was the longest. Luckily it was on an actual beach in Tampa Bay.

How will this experience change you when you get back to work? Being sidelined these past four months has given me an appreciation for doing what I love doing. I miss having that creative outlet on a daily basis. When I return, I'll be well rested.

Extra prepared, and ready to attack the competition with a renewed determination. What's the best way to get your foot in the door? It's all about who you know!

Jump on one of your social media platforms and start networking now. Build a relationship with a PD or VP you admire. Share your ideas and thoughts about radio with them. When an opening does happen, you'll already be top of mind for the position. What has been your best resource for finding out about job openings? Obviously the JOBS page on All Access is #1.

Believe me, I get daily notifications from Indeed, MediaBistro, iHireBroadcasting, Glassdoor and LinkedIn, and none of them compare to All Access. A close second for me would be radio and record colleagues. I've built some strong relationships with people over the years and everybody hears things. There's a lot of truth in that old joke, 'What's the three fastest ways to spread a rumor? Telegraph, telephone, tell a radio person!' Are the salaries in the current job market are what you expected them to be? Salaries are all over the board these days; it's hard to determine why some markets are more important than others when it comes to money.

I know I've been blessed to be paid what I was in market #139 for the last 15 years. Most of the conversations I'm having now with hiring managers begin with the salary range, because they don't want to get too far down the road in the interviewing process and hit that budgetary roadblock. What is the next job you'd like to obtain? It's more important for me to work for the right company, and the right boss, than it is to be in a top 20 market. I'd like to be a regional guy overseeing multiple stations mentoring programmers.
