Listen for Your Country, “Throwback Song of The Day” at 3:25, “The Drive At 5” to get you out of work, “Ben’s Trends” at 5:30p, “Feel Good Friday’s”, and you never know what fun contests he’ll throw out for your chance to win great prizes.

Ben is a husband, father, lover of all music, sports and the outdoors. Ben has always been drawn to radio which became a passion as he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh. After stops in his hometown, Pittsburgh, and Corpus Christi, TX where he was a morning show host for a decade. He ultimately landed in The Buckeye State where he continues to keep you company at Rubber City Radio since 2016… In his free time, you will find Ben at concerts, Akron/Cleveland Sporting Event, dropping a line in the water all while trying to keep up with his wife Jessica, son Killian and 2 pups Moola and Ruby.
Ben’s favorite thing is talking to you. Hearing a ‘Feel Good Friday’, how your day is going, a concert opinion, or the excitement when you win!  Ben continues to grow in Akron and surrounding areas that he cares so much for, and continues to be a pillar within. Ben has hosted the Taste of The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton to benefit The Akron Canton Regional Food Bank, Emcees ‘Back in the Saddle Fundraiser’ for Whispering Grace Horses in Massillon and loves helping local organizations and the people within this great community.
