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!
This past holiday weekend has been my longest break from work since beginning the overnight position on WQMX a few months back, and I sure made the most of it. Most everything I sought to do, I did. Some highlights included spending time with my fiancée, visiting family and munching some delicious Thanksgiving food, watching my Dolphins add to their lead in the AFC East, watching the Buckeyes game, and getting my Christmas Tree! We…

Prior to today, it's been about a month since I have had the joy of riding my old quad. I took the Honda to a friend who knows his stuff for some miscellaneous repairs and maintenance. We got a new axle, put some work into the motor, and fixed my brakes among other things. The bike is a lot happier now, and also a ton less sketchy. All that was holding my rear hubs on…

It's no secret I love trucks. I'll stop and stare and throw a thumbs up towards a sweet one out on the road any time, and I'm committed to finding a decent little 4x4 for my next daily. I was born and raised on Chevrolet; my love for them runs deep. I don't have any tattoos, but the bowtie is at the top of my list if I ever did. Anyways, with as much as…

Someone I worked with a while back introduced me to a helpful trick for clearing frosted windows that has stuck with me ever since. It's equally effective as it is uncomplicated. No one I know enjoys having to use a scraper, or worse a credit card, to get that icy opacity off their car's glass. It's particularly annoying right now as there is no snowfall. Instead of just brushing in order to safely drive, we…

I'm going to my very first Ohio State Buckeyes game tomorrow in Columbus and I am stoked! Our undefeated home team is taking on the Minnesota Golden Gophers at 4pm, and alongside my brother and my dad, I will be there seeing it go down live! My dad has been a lifelong OSU fan, and this year for his birthday my brother and I splurged a bit and decided to pick up some tickets. It…

Turkey Day is just one week away, and I am so ready to smash on some food and to visit with the family. Between my fiancée and I, we typically have no less than two places to be on Thanksgiving, making appearances at as many gatherings as we can. It's cool to see how different cooks take on the challenge of Thanksgiving dinner, and my favorite food absolutely depends on who prepared it. For this…

My fiancée didn't have to go in to work for Tuesday, so we spent the day getting stuff done and running around. It was so nice to wake up to a hot pot of coffee, and it's always great to get to spend time with her regardless of what we're doing. Hobby Lobby has some deals on holiday decorations going on right now, so we started by hitting that up. Aside from the huge selection…

So, there's this thing called the zipper merge that we're apparently supposed to know about despite no information on it provided through driver's education classes. I'd like to chalk it up as some hipster California trend, but before I do, I guess I should explain how it works to give it a fair shake. In a zipper merge, imagine two lanes merging into one. Instead of one lane yielding to the other, drivers take turns…

Saturday nights are great for getting together with friends and hanging out, but every now and then I appreciate a lack of plans. With my fiancée working at the restaurant, this past one was a great opportunity for me to enjoy some solitude relaxing by a fire. It was an awesome time! I initially began the inferno in an attempt to finish what I started by burning the remainder of a stump that has been…

Scrolling through my feed recently, I came across an article that made me feel valid and in company about my feelings. I've long been frustrated with how automakers have approached the U.S. truck market in their offerings. Most things about brand new vehicles I'm not exactly for, like the massive touchscreens replacing physical buttons and knobs, the exterior stylistic choices, and the shift away from sedans into bloated SUVs. EVs are neither here nor there…

Birds are cool! We are fortunate to get to see and hear a wide variety of them here in Northeast Ohio, from the seasonal migrators to our local avians. Aside from geese, there's hardly a bird I dislike, and there's a few I'm particularly fond of that I'm excited to share with you here. I simply love sitting on my back porch by the birdfeeder watching them flutter in and out; it's so peaceful. With…

I love the PlayStation 2. Even with all the more advanced, "better" consoles that have come out since, there's nothing like my old faithful. Recently, my father discovered some old games from my childhood, and I was so hyped to be reunited with some of my forgotten favorites. There was a Harley Davidson game, a WWE game from like 2007, The Bee Movie game, Lego Star Wars, and best of all; Cars Mater-National Championships. If…

We had some beautiful weather this past weekend with warm temps and sunshine aplenty on Sunday. I jumped on the opportunity to soak up some vitamin D and exercise by taking a little ride on my bicycle! I left the house with a questionable amount of pressure in my tires, cutting through some trails behind my garage. After a half mile or so, it became clear that I needed some air.... Once that was squared…
