Where the hell have you been? I took my first full-time radio gig the day after HS graduation & spent the next ... oh damn, let's call it more than a decade, doing it. That came after getting involved with HS sports pbp when I was 13. Ran the gamut of roles really, pulled a regular air shift for most of it but also spent nearly half the time doubling as a new director for a couple of suburban Atlanta stations (got a couple of wire service Stringer of the Year awards that way), which came after I was a fairly successful MD/PD for one of the better Southern Gospel stations in the state.

Eventually got out of the station side of the business after going through 3 straight ownership changes with 3 different stations & went to work at an ad agency via my wife. Still did HS pbp for another 6 years after that though, an fill-in gig for a friend that turned into one of the longer interim stints ever.

But other than that, nah, I wasn't a radio guy
