Joe is an enthusiastic young talent in radio who is living the dream as a personality on his favorite station, WQMX! Joe got his start in college serving as the Production Director for the University of Akron's Z88, and his love for live and local radio has since skyrocketed. He was brought on as an intern for RCRG in 2022 working as a weekend jock and member of the street team in promotions until landing the overnight position on WQMX.
Joe is a lifelong local to the Akron/Canton area. Outside of the studio, he has a love for boating, fishing, disc golf, and off-roading. He is the proud owner of a classic American muscle car, and the toughest decision he faces on a sunny day is whether to drive his Chevy or ride his motorcycle. Fun fact: Joe LOVES grape flavor.
Joe strives to make a connection with his audience and is authentically himself in any setting. Country music holds a special place in his heart, and he relishes being at concerts and community events engaging with listeners and having a great time!
Having my wisdom teeth removed has affected me in a number of ways. I've struggled to eat or drink anything, talking has not been easy, and I've been in pain for over a week now. I've done little more than wait for each day to turn to the next, coming closer to full recovery with every tick of the clock. It's been awful, truthfully, but I keep hope that I'll feel better soon. I'm in…

I'm sure you noticed that it has been just gorgeous outside, especially considering it is still February. I'm personally stoked whenever it is above freezing, let alone nearly sixty degrees and sunny, so this fair weather has put a smile on my face. It's a welcome reminder that spring is really on the way and as much as it may seem like it, winter won't last forever. Soon enough we'll be wearing shorts, eating ice…

If you missed it; I had my wisdom teeth taken out this past week and I have been in recovery since. Let me begin by telling you just how good it feels to be back in the studio here doing my thing! I was tuned in throughout my time off, and I want to thank Nate, Nick, and Marty for filling in for me during my absence. I'd rather not go into much detail on…

I am going into oral surgery to have my wisdom teeth removed today, and I have never been more afraid to do something. I haven't had any surgery whatsoever and am horrified by the idea of it all, from the procedure to the recovery. It's going to be rough. I'm not overly afraid of snakes or spiders. As the WQMX night owl, I'm certainly not afraid of the dark. Public speaking, the number one most…

Did you know that you can stream Your Country on any smart speaker? If you've got a connected Amazon device at home, it's as easy as saying, "Alexa, play 94.9 WQMX!" Just like that, the music is playing, and you can let the good times roll (or even just get back to work without a hassle). If you're more on the Google train, it works pretty much the same with those speakers too. Your smart device…

If you only know a few things about me, one of those should be the following. I love cars! If it seems like I'm not paying attention, I am more than likely daydreaming about the roar of an engine and the squeal from some smoking tires. I'll be going down the road with my fiancée and see a Corvette or something and react as if I just saw a sasquatch! I'm dying for it to…

When it comes to brand loyalty, few products are as polarizing as tractors. Whether it's a farmer pulling a plow through his fields or a groundskeeper mowing a baseball field on a zero-turn, people with tractors are out there making things happen! Regardless of if it's for your backyard or your business, a tractor needs to serve as a dependable workhorse, and all of these following companies make some great ones. With that, here's my…

If you've been in the loop on country music news and happenings, you surely saw the recent incident with Elle King at Dolly Parton's 78th birthday celebration event. If you missed it, basically, Elle was acting a fool on stage at the Grand Ole Opry. She was heavily intoxicated, and no one's really upset with her for having a good time; she just pushed it too far. During her performance, she cursed multiple times at…

We're big fans of Lainey Wilson here around the station, so her announcement of brand-new music has us on the edge of our seats. The upcoming single shares a title with her tour, "Country's Cool Again." A snippet of this song was posted a while back and even more tastes of the project have dropped since, giving us a good base from which to judge it. These few samples indicate something special is on the…

February is far from everybody's favorite month. It's cold and grey, it's the end of Football season, and the best part of it is that it's not January. Well, that, and February marks the return of McDonald's Shamrock Shake! You read that right; it's back, and apparently you can already order one now. Since 1970, this special menu item has graced us with its annual presence for a limited time, and there's no specifics on…

Toby Keith is nothing short of an iconic superstar in country music, and we are so saddened by the news of his death earlier this week. His music catalog is extensive, and the success he's had on the charts spanning years is something even the biggest names of today's age could only wish for. With an unparalleled passion for what he did and a patriotic heart of gold, Toby Keith was taken from us far…

It's always an adventure in my twenty-five-year-old vehicle. With its high mileage and mysterious history, who knows what is bound to break and when. I know my way around a garage and wouldn't have bought the car otherwise, as it wasn't perfect, but some things do come rather unexpectedly. Tuesday morning, I was headed to the bank to withdraw a little cash when all the sudden my clutch pedal went limp. Aside from the middle…

Not long ago we flipped the calendars from January to February, and it was then that I noticed something was a little off with mine. For as long as I can recall, I have always had a car calendar on my wall, and while some of them have not been the highest quality, I've never had one like this. I was looking at the picture of the sports car for February when I noticed that…
