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!
I had a great weekend, and I sincerely hope that you did too. Amongst all of the fun and activities, my fiancée and I visited with my mother on both Saturday and Sunday. Together, they spent hours baking cookies and making memories, and the smell of holiday joy filled the house. I was in and out helping my buddy move into his new place, and each time I returned it seemed like they had three…

There's a star-studded special coming to television and streaming that you won't want to miss if you're a fan of Willie Nelson and the music he's inspired.

With it being the winter holiday season, I can't think of a better time to discuss my favorite holidays, overall. Each one brings me joy in a unique way, and it's always great to reconnect with friends and family during these times. From the decorations to the traditions and the celebrations we hold, holidays are a special time for all. Whether we're celebrating Veterans who have served our country with honor and valor or treating…

Hear the sledges with the bells— Silver bells!What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme,To the tintinabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. -Excerpt from Edgar Allen…

Today, Tuesday, is a big day for me! 10 a.m. marks a full week without a cigarette, and if all continues to go well, I'm done for life. I've been a tobacco user for nearly a decade nonstop, beginning with chew in high school and transitioning to cigarettes for college onward. My loved ones have been pushing me to give up the habit and fight the addiction for years now, and I'm finally ready to…

In my recent blog about my new Blazer, I included a few television advertisements from the late 90's promoting the vehicle. Searching for these led me down a YouTube rabbit hole of old automotive commercials, and there's too many good ones for me not to share with you here! Some make me laugh and some make me cringe, and all of them are perfectly antiquated. Enjoy these time capsules as we flash back to cars…

There's nothing like a night-in watching holiday movies with the fireplace burning and a cup of hot cocoa or cider in your hands. Pair that with some popcorn and maybe a couple Christmas cookies, then add a fluffy blanket and cozy pajamas, and I'm good to go! There are surely a lot of Christmas movies out there, so I'm sure there's also many different favorites among us all. I'm simply here to get the discussion…

With several blogs on the topic, it's no secret I love the Grand Theft Auto series, and this Tuesday was huge in the timeline of events towards a new game as the official trailer for GTA 6 was released! This comes a decade after the release of the current game, GTA 5, and the new game itself won't even hit shelves until 2025. Rockstar has the potential to produce the greatest game ever made thus…

I'm stoked to announce: I bought a new car! Well... new to me that is. She's a '98 Chevy Blazer 2-door with a 5-speed manual transmission and relatively high mileage that I scooped up for a good price out of Kenmore. It was a California truck for most of its life and is stupid clean. Aside from some dents, dings, and sunspots, she's just gorgeous. There are little things that need addressed inside and out…

This past Friday morning, I got the gut-wrenching news that the good-est boy ever, my childhood pup at my dad's house, Spike, had passed away. He died peacefully around midnight on Thursday, accompanied by my father and his "sister," Moosey. Spikey, also known as Ralph or whatever other random name we wanted to call him in the moment, was born half Miniature Pinscher and half Chihuahua. His little stature contradicted so perfectly with his big…

It's what some call thirsty Thursday, so what better time than the present to rank my top ten beers! When people ask me what type of beer I like, "cheap" is the best word I can answer with. I'm a simple guy who prefers longnecks over cans, and drafts best of all. I'm not into IPA's, stouts, porters, or any of that fancier or more mature stuff. I generally like an easy-drinking, lower percentage beer…

Working the overnights, it's all but necessary for me to have some form of caffeine each shift, and there's hardly anything I prefer more than Monster's Khaotic blend. It's a full flavor "Juice" variant of the drink characterized as Tropical Orange in flavor. For me, it's like a sweet nectar that I must force myself not to slurp down too quickly! It tastes so good, but the flavor it quietly replaced, Khaos, was even better.…
