Specialty host on Rock 105 The Dog. Bareknuckle Radio. Was a 2 hour show featuring hardcore, punk and metal core bands. Became midday host and PD roughly 4 months later.

"Mothership Connection" Parliament Funkadelic
DamagePlan
My very first show! The PD asked the night guy to sit with me for my first show and after the first break he asked me, "you feel like you've got it?" I said yes and he bailed. Nerves took over and I botched the next break and couldn’t fire the next element. It was an absolute soup sandwich!

Dustin Kensrue of Thrice. I had a weekend show on K-Rock's HD2 channel and decided to randomly reach out after they released Beggars and they were cool enough to respond.
Entire automation system crashed during one of my first years on a morning show. With no music to play we turned it into a talk show, took live calls, and luckily escaped with no FCC violations.
