Midwest American, Southern/upper class, Southern/redneck, Texan. Creaky old man, cartoonish charcters.

I became a full time professional disc jockey at age 16, having a fully 'adult' voice at that time and being told by my bosses I was a "natural". Through my career in a dozen different radio stations and markets, I was always the top voice and production man, the one advertisers most often requested. I've done narration for Naval training films, booth announcing for PBS/Florida, football and basketball play-by-play, written thousands of radio and tv commercials and written and produced commercial jingles. I checked into college the summer after high school but soon dropped out. I'd already been a professional DJ on the radio for two years by then and it was clear to me that college couldn't teach me anything about radio, it being a business that must be learned by doing. I was then hired to be program director and afternoon disc jockey at age 18 and spent the next twenty years serving in that capacity as I progressed to larger markets and higher pay. In 1983, I left salaried employment to launch my own programming consulting firm. I continued with that for the next seventeen years, concurrently developing music scheduling software for radio stations. The software business became very successful and is now one of the best such tools in the business. Behringer mic, Blue Yeti mic, Audition adept, creative copywriter
